Our Halloween show this year is the Gothic horror trilogy Tomes of Terror: Lenore, and if you ever wanted to stand behind the microphone, you’re in luck, because audition slots are now available. Audition slots are at 7, 8, and 9pm on the evenings of Monday, August 7, and Tuesday, August 8. (Callbacks, if needed, will be that Thursday.) Our Auditions page has information about the process and a link to the form to sign up for a slot.

This Friday at 8pm and Saturday at 2pm and 8pm, we’ll be reprising our Arisia performance of our gender-swapped interpretation of the clasisc Star Trek episode, “The Naked Time”. This is an unticketed free event (although we gladly accept donations) and reservations are not required, but if you’d like to let us know you’re coming the event page has a link to a reservation form. Note that this event is at Unity Somerville rather than Responsible Grace.

And next month between the 14th and 22d (at Responsible Grace Church) we’ll be presenting our summer mysteries for 2017, featuring original adaptations for radio-drama of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes tale “A Scandal in Bohemia” and a gender-swapped version of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Murders in the Rue Morgue”, considered by some the first modern detective story. You can buy tickets in advance or make a reservation on our tickets page. (The performance on Thursday, June 20th, is a pay-what-you-can performance.)

We are delighted to announce that we are looking for voice actors, Foley artists, and crew for our upcoming summer mystery show, Murders and Scandals: Poe and Doyle, featuring original adaptations of Arthur Conan Doyle’s “A Scandal in Bohemia” featuring Sherlock Holmes and Edgar Allan Poe’s “the Murders in the Rue Morgue” — the latter gender-swapped and featuring Charolotte Dupin. See our auditions page for more information and for the link to sign up for an audition slot. Auditions will be Monday, May 15th, and Tuesday, May 16th, 2017 at Responsible Grace Church in Davis Square, Somerville, and performances will be in mid-July. (The roles of Holmes and Watson are pre-cast.)
