‘All The Better To Kill You With’ auditions Missoula Children’s Theatre The Barn Community Playhouse has multiple roles available TILLAMOOK — The Tillamook Association for the Perform- ing Arts (TAPA) has open auditions for “All The Better To Kill You With,” a classic whodunit with a twist, where we not only get to see who- dunit, but also how they plan they whole thing and carry it out. Written by Fred Carmi- chael and directed by Brett Duer, “All The Better To Kill You With” is a clever inter- weaving of truth and false- hood that produces a tapes- try of tension. The carefully planned deception almost works until truth rears its head and a brilliant structure of cunning topples. The audi- ence sees everything, so the question is not “whodunit,” so to speak, but rather will the murderer be found out. The result is high tension and good dramatic excitement. Auditions will be held at The Barn Community Play- house, starting promptly at 1 Fresh Oregon Hood STRAWBERRIES Starting May 20th Monday - Saturday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Watch for us at the corner of Marlin & 101 in Warrenton at the Putman Pro-Lube Center PICKED D AI L Y! p.m. Saturday, May 30, and 5 p.m. Sunday, May 31 The Barn Community Playhouse is located at the corner of 12th and Ivy streets in Tillamook, across from Les Schwab Tires.
