Character Breakdown:
5 women, 3 men. Ages will be flexible. Open to all ethnicities.

-William Gillette: 35 -50. A dashing actor with a lively mind and a fanciful imagination. Has made a fortune from his stage adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, whom he also plays. Recently shot in the arm in a bizarre incident, Gillette is determined to bring his "Sherlock-ian" skills to bear on solving the case.
-Martha Gillette: Gillette’s dotty mother, elegant though a bit foggy, Martha never shies away from a fight. Always willing to lob a criticism when necessary, all the same, Martha is loyal to Gillette and his gang of theatrical misfits
-Simon Bright: 20s. Young leading man. Sweet, energetic and enthusiastic, can occasionally be overly sensitive. Married to Aggie.
-Aggie Wheeler: 20s. Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, Aggie is the ingénue of the company. Good-natured and kind, Aggie has had tragedy in her past, though she seems to have dealt with it well, and even moved on. Recently married to Simon, they make a charming and wonderful couple. Actress needs to have a dark side.
- Felix Geisel: 40s-50s. Gillette’s best friend and occasional sidekick. Given to sarcasm, often melodramatic, always flamboyant. Married to Madge.
-Madge Geisel: 40s -50s. A leading lady, smart and passionate and delightful in a Rosalind Russell, smart-mouthed, girl-about-town kind of way.
-Daria Chase: 30s-60s. Self-made woman. Catty, funny, fierce, temperamental, passionate and vicious. She is the theatre critic we all love to hate, though you can’t help but like her, despite the terrible things she says and writes. A wonderful sense of humor goes a long way towards endearing Daria to the audience
-Inspector Goring: Woman, 30s-60s. A female police inspector (rare for that time period). English and eccentric, completely one of a kind. By turns, witty and incisive, suddenly lost and dim, she is disarming in her inability to be defined. Always off the mark, and yet never far from the truth, somehow she always gets her man.

All actors should bring a resume and a headshot to the audition and be prepared with a 2 minute comedic monologue.
