PRESCOTT – The Great River Road Theatre is seeking actors for its next dinner theatre production, “Death by Chocolate,” an adult comedy. Six performances will take place in late January at the Old Ptacek’s Event Center in Prescott.

Director Judy Johnson is seeking 12 adults to play characters in the latest production. Auditions will be held at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 27 and 28 at the Old Ptacek’s Event Center. Those interested will be asked to read an excerpt from the play, provided by Johnson. The cast will begin practicing after Halloween.

According to a synopsis of the play:

“Members of the newly renovated Meadowbrook Health Resort are dropping like flies, including famed chef Edith Chiles! On the eve of the grand re-opening, this is not the best advertisement! It's up to John Stone, the manager, to find the cause and the murderer.
“Delightfully sarcastic and cynical, Stone finds himself teaming up with Ed Parlor, mystery writer and amateur sleuth, in a wacky race against time. The clues point to a sinister box of chocolates, and the suspects include all the outlandish characters working for the resort. 
“Could it be Lady Riverdale, owner of the resort, and a woman with dark secrets? Or Ralph Deadwood, gym instructor and all around cad? Dick Simmering, the aerobics instructor? Anne, the panic stricken nurse? Or could it be "Sweet Pea" Meadowbrook, overweight and grieving daughter of the recently deceased founder of the resort?”
