The Whidbey Playhouse announces auditions for the Michael Cooney British farce, “Cash on Delivery”.

Directors Bob Hendrix and Melissa Bridges seek six men and four women for this hilarious comedy.  Perusal scripts are available at the Whidbey Playhouse office.

Midway Blvd in Oak Harbor.  The play will run April 9 - May 1.  For further information, contact the Playhouse at 360-679-2237, office@whidbeyplayhouse.com, or visit the website at www.whidbeyplayhouse.com.  Character descriptions are available on the website.

Auditions will include cold readings from the script.  Auditioners should dress casually.  They may be asked to demonstrate some physical humor such as mimicking getting hit in the head with a door.

This fast paced physical comedy concerns a con artist who has duped the welfare authorities for years by claiming every type of benefit for the innumerable people he claims live at his address.  This scam nets him tens of thousands tax free.  Just when he decides to kill off many of the imaginary dole recipients because matters are getting a bit too risky, welfare investigators show up.  Some make inquiries about what is going on while others offer additional benefits for which he has not applied.  To outwit the investigators, the con artist is forced to enlist other creative characters to play the unfortunate souls he’s created.
