If you’re feeling the itch to reprise some of the best lines, scenes and style of Humphrey Bogart films, The Art Place is seeking a few good local actors for its forthcoming presentation of the play “Murder at Cafe Noir,” inspired by the David Landau book.
The auditions are this coming Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at The Art Place (3330 Sandy Plains Road), with callbacks on Wednesday.
Landau’s work is a comic tribute to Bogart’s 1940s detectives roles. After the owner of the Cafe Noir is murdered, a private investigator is called in, and you probably have a good idea about the rest of the story.
There’s more on The Art Place Facebook page about the characters, but there’s a good variety of roles to audition for, including the protagonist PI Rick Archer.
They include Madam Tourreau, the cafe manager, a black market dealer-turned-bouncer, a fortune teller, a gun runner and a disgraced lawyer.
If you’re chosen for the callbacks, they’ll also be at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, with the cast read-through on Feb. 11 and rehearsals starting Feb. 14.
Performances are March 23-24.
