Auditions will be heard in the Werlein Annex Studio on Sunday, August 27 at 2:30 pm and Monday, August 28 at 6:30 pm. (It is not necessary to attend both auditions.)

Betting on Bloodshed
When the vile new manager of the Flying Flamingo Lounge and Casino is mysteriously murdered by a poisoned poker chip, the colorful guests and employees of the Flamingo must band together to find out who the true killer is, if only to save themselves.
But who truly committed the crime? Well, that’s up to the audience to find out! They’ll help the youthful, observant bartender Ralphie as he investigates everyone. Was it Gladys, the older-than-dirt showgirl? Or her up-and-coming replacement Goldie? Or perhaps Kevin the Magnificent, who, let’s face it, is not so magnificent? But we can’t forget the bumbling security guard Rhonda Priest. Or Oscar, the crotchety old blackjack dealer. Then there’s Ed and Edna—the king and queen of getting things for free. And let’s not forget the not-so-nunly nun who falls into the thick of it. And then of course, there’s Kevin’s edgy new competition, Kohl Spector, or worse, Kevin’s Mom! They all had motive—and they all had opportunity. The only question left is… who dunnit?
With four wild and crazy endings, Betting on Bloodshed is sure to keep our audiences guessing until the perpetrator is behind bars.
