THE BUTLER DID IT - Open Auditions

A two-act comedy by Walter Marks & Peter Marks

Directed by Mike Beehm

Synopsis:
A director seeks to reinvigorate his career with his latest play, a classic whodunit, which eventually becomes hilariously close to reality as he desperately attempts to “stimulate” his cast. A show full of twists and turns that will subvert all of your expectations!
