From A La Recherche Du Frank Perdue<\/em>\u00a0<\/i><\/strong>by\u00a0David Grimm<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The prim, proper, slightly prideful butler is also the mastermind of behind the mansion\u2019s mayhem. Tap into the character of the conductor with this clever speech delivered by the omniscient Prologue, who clues that audience in to the scandalous life of Frank Purdue.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/div>

From Hanging Women<\/em>\u00a0<\/i>by <\/strong>Donna Spector<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Yvette\u2019s obvious sex appeal masks qualities of a darker nature, similar to those possessed by Alicia, who has mourned her missing husband so dearly that when she discovers he\u2019s planning on returning, she plots his murder. In the meantime, Alicia shares the sensuous first encounter she had with her husband with Cleandine and Peony\u2026 their daughters. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/div>

From Hypocrites & Strippers<\/em> by Kim Yaged<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Auditioning for\u00a0Mrs. Peacock<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

From Lady Magic<\/em>\u00a0<\/i>by <\/strong>Alan Rossett<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Outwardly conservative, Mrs. Peacock is less-than-collected. Channel her neurosis with this piece delivered by eccentric Hanna, who has foreseen her early death since childhood, and made a pretty penny by novelizing it. <\/span><\/p>\n

Auditioning for\u00a0Mrs. White<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

From Wishing Aces\u00a0<\/em>by Rosary O’Neill<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mrs. White may or may not have murdered her five ex-husbands; while Kitty\u2019s husband isn\u2019t dead (yet), she\u2019s getting a bit macabre in relating the history behind her failed marriage to their son, Bucky, who follows his mother as she steals away with a university professor. <\/span><\/p>\n

Auditioning for\u00a0Colonel Mustard<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

From I.S.O.<\/em>\u00a0<\/i>by <\/strong>Barbara Lhota & Janet B. Milstein<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Colonel Mustard\u2019s defensiveness stems from quite a deal of stuffed-up self-entitlement. Unfounded pride is also the M.O. for Donald, who attempts to cover up his inadequacy in the office by speaking so incomprehensibly that his subordinates assume he\u2019s a genius.<\/span><\/p>\n

Auditioning for\u00a0Professor Plum<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

From All in the Faculty\u00a0<\/em>by William Ivor Fowkes<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Professor Plum may be bookish, but he\u2019s anything but blushing, just like Philosophy Department Chair Alfred. In this monologue, Alfred attempts to convince newbie Ned to sleep with his wife; if Ned refuses to flatter Alfred\u2019s spouse by participating in their arrangement, he faces being fired. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/div>

From Private Property<\/i> by William Ivor Fowkes<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Getting caught up in a murder party is any pencil-pusher\u2019s worst nightmare; just like the square Mr. Green, Gregory can seem a bit paranoid\u2026 but maybe it\u2019s just because he and his husband\u2019s strange house rules are the only thing keeping a horde of corpses underground. <\/span><\/p>\n

From Christie\u00a0<\/em>by Cullen Douglas<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The main female ensemble role is that of the mansion\u2019s menacing Cook. Christie\u2019s speech to the detective inspector questioning her for murder provides the perfect opportunity to show off your manipulative, masochistic side.<\/span><\/p>\n

From Dinner with the Boys<\/em>\u00a0<\/i>by\u00a0Dan Lauria<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Boddy\u2019s got his fingers in a lot of financially shady pies, just like Charlie, a cannibalistic mobster who will go to any means to keep his life quiet. Here, Charlie unfolds the one hit he\u2019s never said a peep about.<\/span><\/p>\n
