Michael Hayes is holding auditions for “Exit The Body” this evening at 7:00 PM at the Owen Theater.
“Exit the Body” is a farce about a mystery writer who rents a New England home that is the rendezvous point for some jewel thieves. The focal point of the set is the closet which opens into a living room and a library. A body found in the closet promptly disappears only to be succeeded by another. The hunt for the jewels reaches a climax at 2:00 AM, when four couples unknown to each other turn up to search.
Not since the days of Mack Sennett has there been such a hiliarious series of entrances and exits.
