MURDER BY THE BOOK - St Joseph County Public Library


Calling all mobsters, tough guys, flappers, floozies, and hitmen! We are seeking actors for a one-night Murder Mystery event.

Auditions will be held Tuesday, September 23rd in the Humphrey’s Multimedia Room in Main Library’s lower level (304 S Main St, South Bend) from 5:00-7:30pm

“Murder by the Book”
It’s 1930, and a party at the Godfather’s speakeasy has turned deadly. The mobsters and their guests have to figure out whodunit before the culprit reaches his intended target: the Godfather himself!

This event will be part-scripted, part-improv, with plenty of audience interaction and participation. Scripts for certain scenes will be provided at auditions, but actors should come ready to improvise!
