The Hound of the Baskervilles - A Comic Thriller Starring Shirley Holmes and Jennie Watson by Liberty High School
in Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States

What To Know About This Production

Sherlock Holmes and his faithful sidekick, Dr. John Watson, have left on an extended holiday throughout Europe, leaving their nieces—Shirley Holmes and Jennie Watson—to keep an eye on the famous flat at 221B Baker Street. Shirley, studying logic, and Jennie, studying medicine, are busy preparing for upcoming exams when there's a knock on the door. It's Dr. Maxine Mortimer and Sir Henry Baskerville, who've come to seek the assistance of the famous Sherlock Holmes. Sir Charles Baskerville has died a mysterious death. Is he the most recent victim of the Curse of the Baskervilles—a curse linked to the nightmarish tales of a supernatural hound that haunts the murky moors of Devonshire? But wait, there's more! The young Sir Henry, the only surviving heir to the Baskerville legacy, has received a threat against his life! Something must be done! There's no time to recall Holmes and Watson from their trip. "We're all you've got," says Shirley. "We're up to the challenge," chimes Jennie. And indeed they are! In this fast-paced adaptation, full of wailing hounds, thundering hooves, and the slithering mists of the moor, Shirley and Jennie follow the trail of evidence and intrigue until, at last, they are confronted by the ravenous Hound itself!

What To Expect At Auditions

FIRST THINGS FIRST: If you are only interested in a major role, PLEASE consider either joining one of our awesome crews, OR finding an alternate activity for this Fall season. If the ensemble feels as though they are somehow "less than," the show will not work. It is ALL about playing and working together to create our own unique stamp on this show!

Your audition will consist of several physical and improvisational exercises to assess your ability to create physical character quickly, collaborate with fellow actors, and follow directions. You will audition in groups of 10. This production needs a very strong ensemble who are creative, love to play and create, and are not afraid of getting a bit silly.

If the audition time slots fill up, please let Mr. Skelcey know ASAP and additional slots will be added. If you are unable to attend either of the audition dates or the callbacks, please meet with Mr. Skelcey to discuss alternate times to audition. Beware, though, that this may affect final casting as it is imperative that auditions are in groups.

For CALLBACKS: If you are called back, you will then read from scenes with your fellow actors.

FOR CREW: Signup for ONE interview day. Make sure you fill out the full profile minus acting related information if you're NOT auditioning for an onstage role. The CONFLICT CALENDAR is VERY important to fill out completely BEFORE YOU INTERVIEW!
