ABOUT THE PLAYS & CASTING
Accomplice
By Rupert Holmes
Directed by Will Nethery
Play Synopsis: Winner of the Mystery Writers of America’s coveted “Edgar” award (the “Oscar” of crime and suspense) and written by Tony® award winner Rupert Holmes, Accomplice has thrilled audiences on Broadway, across the United States and around the word. The New York Times has called it “a deliciously witty cocktail of a whodunit with a maniacally seamless plot where skullduggery emerges the winner!” This theatrical roller coaster will trigger screams of laughter even as audiences vow to keep its secrets hush-hush. The story begins in Dartmoor, England at the stylish weekend retreat of the affluent Derek and Janet Taylor, and both adultery and murder are in the air. But we will soon learn that all is never as it seems in this electrifying game of trickery and misdirection. Who is the hunter and who the hunted…and precisely who is the title character of Accomplice? “The best fooler since Sleuth and twice as clever!” said the L.A. Times, while L.A. Theatre & Entertainment Review proclaimed it “the comedy thriller of all comedy thrillers!”

WHAT TO DO
How to start: Begin your audition by slating. The slate is a chance to introduce us to you as an actor (opposed to you as a character when you are performing).
- In the slate be sure to state:
- Your name
- The name of the piece(s) you are performing in order of performance. For a monologue, say the name of the play. For a musical, say the name of the song and the name of the musical.
- Take a beat.
Begin performing: After a beat, being your monologue or song. Once you perform your piece(s), take a beat, then you can say "thank you" to show you are done.
What if I mess up? Don't worry! Only you know what you were going to do. No need to apologize! If you forget the line, simply take a beat to collect your thoughts. If the words don't come, start the sentence over.
