Auditions for "Murder in the Studio"


  • To be announced, Amsterdam (map)

Auditions are open for InPlayers’ Fall production: Murder in the Studio by Agatha Christie.

This show consists of three separate one-act plays, all written by the queen of crime: Personal Call, Yellow Iris, and Butter in a Lordy Dish.

Each of these plays will be staged as a “radio play”. The performers of this production will act out radio-play-actors that give voice to characters in the stories. We also feature foley artists who produce the sound effects that set the tone for the story and voice one or more characters.

We encourage all aspiring actors, 18 and above, of all ethnicities, abilities and gender identities to sign up to audition for the characters they’d like to portray. Please fill out and submit the audition form below latest on Saturday July 12, 2025.

As the auditions take place on dates when many people vacation, you have the opportunity to audition with a pre-recorded video. You will receive more information about this after you sign up.
