An Audition To A Murder

by Lee Mueller

Overview

A Theatre group is holding auditions for a Murder Mystery called "Death of A Disco Dancer". All of the typical actors show up to audition. There is Mia Monahan - the militant method actress, Amber Frost- the ditzy Drama queen, Chad - the energetic actor who never seems to get a part in anything, Alan- the accomplished Theatre Major who works at a fast-food place in the meantime. Troy May - the ego-centric actor who always gets a role and his gorgeous assistant Tantanya who holds his imported bottled water and carries his Portfolio. And last but not least, Mrs. Needleman and her precious daughter Julie, fresh from the Little Miss Pumpkin Pageant finals.

The auditions get underway without too many problems, well a few... Well, all right, you see, the thing is.. the Director Vivian Vinderlou and assistant director Reed Moore have a bit of the problem with "script". The problem is they don't have enough copies for everyone. And the bigger problem is they don't actually have a finished script.

Jim Culter- the playwright arrives in the nick of time with a few more copies and a few more finished pages just as one of the actors mysteriously dies. As luck would have it, Jim has brought Inspector Bonnie Brauvera along to the auditions to serve as Technical advisor for the play. Perhaps the investigation into this "mysterious death" will inspire the playwright and help him finish the play. After all, there is a read-through on Monday.

About the Author

Lee Mueller was born in St. Louis, Missouri. For thirty years he has been involved in the performing arts, from acting, directing and most notably as a playwright.

Starting on stage as an actor in High School, through College, and onto Community theatre. Lee even made it to the silver screen as a sewer dweller in "Escape From New York."

Lee spent many years in the trenches of the St. Louis Comedy club circuit in comedy sketch/improv groups: "The Way Off-Broadway Players," "The Bottom Line," and Wit's End" - as a performer and writer. It wasn't long before the world of acting in plays and writing comedy sketches merged and he began writing plays for fun.

His first one-act play, "In Between Days" was selected to be produced during a national writers conference at local Missouri College. His second one-act, "The Favor" was chosen as a finalist in a short play competition by Pamoja Players in St. Louis.

For the past 15 years, Lee has specialized in comedy murder mystery plays that have been produced all over the world. In 2007 his play "Murder Me Always" spent a month on the stage of the Laugh Factory in New York - so technically Lee likes to say one of his scripts played "Off-Broadway".

His play "Death Of A Doornail" won "Best Original Comedy" at the 27th Annual "Arty Awards" in Fairfield California.

His 12-minute short play "The Thing That Happened" featured at SKits in Dramanon Hyderabad, India and won Best Original Play.
