Overtime Theater Seeks Actors for 'D.O.A.: A Noir Musical'

"D.O.A.: A Noir Musical" is a musical comedy about death. Originally, D.O.A. was a classic, 1950 film noir about a man, Frank Bigelow, who is poisoned and has 48 hours to live. He spends his last hours trying to find his murderer: femme fatales, brutish henchmen, shady accountants, and mysterious gang leaders all figure into the twisted plot.

D.O.A.: A Noir Musical will take the original public domain movie and turn it inside out, featuring new jazz and blues songs by composer Jaime Ramirez. This new stage adaptation will be a fast-paced, comic thriller with original music played by a great live band!

Cast: A cast of 8 will be needed. All must be great singers and have good comic timing.
Frank Bigelow (male lead) - Late 20's - early 40's
