Auditions are Jan. 16

Cherokee Civic Theatre will conduct auditions at the Cherokee Theater for its February performance, "Postmortem," at 2 p.m. Jan. 16, said Dan (Eddie) Breen, director. The cast includes roles for four adult women and four adult men. Persons auditioning will be asked to read from the script.

"Postmortem" will be performed at 7 p.m. Feb. 22, 23, 29 and March 1, with matinees at 2 p.m. Feb. 24 and March 2. The play's author, Ken Ludwig, has also written "Lend Me A Tenor" and "Sullivan & Gilbert." The production tells the story of when actor/manager and playwright William Gillette invites his sister and the cast of his latest play for a weekend at his castle on a bluff overlooking the Connecticut River. For entertainment, Gillette has arranged a séance while someone is trying to murder Gillette and he suspects it is one of his guests.
