Watertown Players Announce Auditions
The Watertown Players are pleased to announce auditions for A Little Murder Never Hurt Anybody written by Ron Bernas. The show is being produced in partnership with Samuel French, Inc. and will be performed at The Watertown Players Theater, 210 S Water St (in the Market), Watertown, on April 25 & 26 and May 2-4, 2025. The show is being directed by Jennie Ortega. Any questions regarding the auditions or the show itself, please email Ortega at

Auditions will be held at the theater on Saturday, March 15, from 9:00-11:00 am. No prior acting experience is required. No special preparation is required and auditioners will be asked to read from the
script. To sign up for auditions, please go to https://signup.com/go/cvfDGvM
There are roles for six adults—2 females and 4 males—ranging in age from 25-55. The ages are a guideline and will in no way influence decisions for the right people for the roles. Rehearsals will be held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons at the theater.
The play is centered around Matthew Perry and his wife, Julia, and their annual New Year’s tradition. Matthew has resolved to murder Julia before the next new year, and Julia has resolved not to be killed. A hilarious year-long match of wits and the witless begins! As bodies begin to fall, Bunny Perry, Matthew and Julia’s sweet but dim-witted and deeply shallow daughter, and her fiancé, Donald, grieve about the ever-shrinking pool of friends who will be alive to witness their nuptials. Enter Detective Plotnik—a Sam
Spade reincarnation who suspects everyone but hasn’t a clue, and Buttram, the family butler who is prone to crying jags and harbors a terrible secret. This spoof of and love letter to the screwball comedies of the 1930s and to stage mysteries in general will have audiences laughing from beginning to end!
