Mousetrap

It's that time of year where the straight play at Herricks High School has been announced. This year's straight play will be Mousetrap by Agatha Christie. Knowing her reputation, the show is bound to be excellent. Now comes the time to research and prepare for the auditions. This time is crucial for an actor because the better your understanding of the show and the better the understanding of the character you are going for, the higher the chance you have of getting the role you want and impressing the director. Watching the show, researching the role you wish to audition for, and perhaps getting a copy of the script of the show will be most helpful and these are things I wish to do in the next week or so.
