Write a commentTheatre Du Jour & the Oswego Tea Company located at 157 E 1st Street are pleased to announce their "MURDER IS SWEET" meet & greet / audition event for TDJ's next production - Murder at Cafe Noir by David Landau on Sunday, March 22nd starting at 4pm.
This event is a dual-purpose event - actors, directors & restaurant owners can come get to know TDJ & community members can audition for their next show! Refreshments and lite fare will be served! The cast includes 4 males and 3 females (ages 18 & up) and will be directed by Syracuse veteran & Salt Award Winner Stephfond Brunson.
The most popular mystery dinner show in the country, Murder at Cafe Noir has enjoyed weekly productions coast to coast since its premiere in 1989. This forties detective story come to life features Rick Archer, P.I., out to find a curvaceous runaway on the forgotten island of Mustique, a place stuck in a black and white era. The owner of the Cafe Noir has washed ashore, murdered, and Rick's quarry was the last person seen with him. He employs his hard boiled talents to find the killer. Was it the French madame and club manager, the voodoo priestess, the shyster British attorney, the black marketeer or the femme fatale? The audience votes twice on what they want Rick to do next and these decisions change the flow of this comic tribute to the Bogart era.The "Murder is Sweet" Meet & Greet from 4pm to 5pm will allow restaurateurs and potential actors to learn more about dinner theatre and the opportunity to ask questions that are specific to their own venue.
Restaurant owners are encouraged to attend the Meet & Greet from 4pm to 5pm to learn more about TDJ's "Dinner Theatre Experience" and how they can provide you with creative branding opportunities & drive traffic to your venue!
