The 40-year reunion of North by Northwest High School’s class of 1984 was organized by former head cheerleader and prom queen, Sherrylynn Shuster. As the event unfolded, emotions that had been dormant for four decades made return visits. And one classmate didn’t make it because murder was on the menu.
Auditions will consist of cold reading from the script and improvisation. This is an interactive show and the director is looking for those with strong improv skills.
We are looking to fill roles for 4 females and 6 males. Anyone 18 or older may audition. If cast, younger actors will be asked to age up.
