Possum Juniors set ‘WCKY’ auditions May 23-24

Possum Juniors, the youth affiliate of Possum Point Players, will hold auditions for “WCKY,” a comedy-mystery, from 5 to 7 p.m., Friday, May 23, and 4 to 6 p.m., Saturday, May 24, at Possum Hall, 441 Old Laurel Road, Georgetown.

Show dates are Friday to Sunday, July 25 to 27.

Written by Flip Kobler and Cindy Marcus, “WCKY” sees murder and mayhem collide in hilarious fashion as a new radio station, WCKY, is preparing to air its first show in 1939. As the Clementine Sisters are about to sing the opening jingle, the action behind the scenes is infused with excitement and drama. Head writer Roy plans to propose on air to Polly, the assistant director. Meanwhile, actress Sarah has helped Roy procure a ring. And as Roy is down on one knee practicing his proposal with Sarah, in walks Polly. Whoops!

Sarah ends up dead a few minutes later as she’s about to make her own shocking and unscripted announcement on the air. Obviously, all signs point to poor Roy. But by the time the night is over, two other on-air talents have also been murdered, and each time, Roy is the prime suspect. It’s up to the creative writer to solve the mystery himself and reveal the actual killer through a live radio broadcast.
