If It’s Monday, This Must Be Murder!
Set in the 1940s, detective Harry Monday is posing as a golf-playing psychiatrist at the Shady Meadows Country Club. “A place where old polyester goes to die,” says Harry, after the club members start dropping like divots on the duffer’s course. Yup, Shady Manor, the only place in the world you’d have to figure “If It’s Monday, This Must Be Murder!”
Audition Requirements
- Actors must be 12 years of age or older.
- If you’d like to audition for a particular character, it’s best to memorize that character’s lines from the following excerpt. (Bring a copy of the excerpt as well.)
- If the character(s) you’re interested in doesn’t appear in the excerpt, please learn the lines of another character.
- If you’re open to any part, please bring the script excerpt and be prepared to read multiple parts.

AUDITION SAMPLE – If It’s Monday This Must Be Murder!
A Charlie Brown Christmas
Performance Dates:
December 10-13
The classic animated television special, A Charlie Brown Christmas comes to life in this faithful stage adaptation where Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the other Peanuts grapple with the real meaning of Christmas.
Audition Requirements
- Actors must be 12 years of age or older.
- All actors must audition, even if they desire a non-speaking role. We will have you read an excerpt and sing one of the pieces below.
- Actors seeking a speaking role should come ready (memorization is preferred) to perform the lines of the character(s) they wish to audition for from the selections.
- All actors should be ready to sing the short excerpt from one of the two musical choices below (“Christmas Time Is Here” or “Hark the Herald Angels Sing”). (Hint: Using YouTube or watching the movie A Charlie Brown Christmas [TV Short, 1965]is a great way to prepare for the audition!)
- We are looking for actors who can really own the traditional characteristics and personality of the role they’re auditioning for, as well as share some physical traits of those characters.
