Auditions A Family Reunion to Die For Auditions for the next Murder at the Music Box will be held on Sunday & Monday, June 17 & 18 at 7pm. This comedy mystery by Mike Steele & Matt Steele has a cast of cousins played by dozens. Perhaps fewer than that, but all interested actors aged 16 & older are welcome. The joyful Knotting Family Reunion quickly turns sour when Aunt Gretchen, Cousin Rachel, and Cousin Stefan are all murdered! To make matters worse, a terrible storm has trapped all of the guests inside. Who is trying to wipe out the Knotting family? Is it the pair of squirrel-hunting hillbilly sisters with their rifle? The former Vegas showgirl with a knack for knitting? The maid with a single digit IQ? The grouchy cook? The bitter journalist? The troupe of mimes? Opportunities for audience interaction and improv! Production dates are July 19, 20, 21, 22 Please bring all rehearsal conflict dates to auditions. No performance conflicts will be allowed. Auditions will be held at the Music Box Dinner Playhouse, 196 Hughes St, Swoyersville, PA 18704. Call 570 283-2195 for more information.

"Father Joe" Gilbert and adding a Star in his honor to our “Theatre of the Stars.” We continue this memorial by asking all performers and friends of community theatre who knew and loved Father Joe to contribute to a scholarship fund so a few deserving children, who would otherwise be financially unable, can attend our Children’s Summer Theater Workshop each year. Monies collected will be added to the fund and used each year to assist identified recipients. Any amount contributed will be greatly appreciated. You can support this scholarship program via Paypal: Use the "Add special instructions to the seller" box to indicate your donation is for the Father Joe Scholarship. Donations can be also be sent to the theatre: Music Box Dinner Playhouse 196 Hughes Street Swoyersville, PA. 18704 Checks should be made out to "Music Box Players".
