Auditions for A LENGTH OF ROPE

Continuing The Tin Ceiling's critically acclaimed 2007 season of
original works comes auditions for its next show: Robert Strasser's
"A Length of Rope."

Synopsis:
A priceless and seemingly forgotten piece of art goes missing.
Private investigator Stan, desperate for cash, accepts the job of
locating it. His investigation takes him to an art warehouse on the
North side of St. Louis, where he questions the management and staff
– Lesley and Carl – who conveniently know nothing about it. In fact,
the warehouse houses no art whatsoever. In truth Leslie, who's about
to marry her boy friend, threw the painting in the Mississippi. What
ensues is a game of cat-and-mouse where everyone is both the cat and
the mouse.

Directed by Andrew Byrd
Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.

Audition Date: Oct 2nd 7:30pm at The Tin Ceiling 3159 Cherokee(at the
corner of Compton and Cherokee) in South St. Louis city. Callbacks

Characters
Leslie: Female, early to mid 30's. Sarcastic, smart and a bit

Carl: Male, early 50's. A bit of a ladies man and nonconformist.
He's the only other employee at the art warehouse. He is partially

worth a lot of money. He desperately needs the money the job will
