Prescription: Murder
By: William Link & Richard Levinson

Running November 21st to November 30th, 2019
Prescription: Murder tells the story of a brilliant psychiatrist and his mistress who hatch a murderous plot! Enter Lt. Columbo, who must engage the psychiatrist in a duel of wits until one is proved the victor. But is this seemingly forgetful detective up to the tasks? Or will the killers walk free?

All auditions take place at the Polaris Centre for the Performing Arts

ROLES:
- MISS PETRIE – a pleasant, efficient woman in her fifties with a genuine liking for people.
- DR. ROY FLEMMING – a polished, urbane New York psychiatrist. Highly civilized, pragmatic, with a cold, functioning intelligence. He wears conservative, artfully-tailored suits.
- CLAIRE FLEMMING – a brittle, sardonic product of New York’s East side. She shows the strain of a loveless marriage.
- SUSAN HUDSON – Young and extremely attractive, with a hint of latent sensuality. She is not particularly complicated.
- LIEUTENANT COLUMBO – a rumpled police official of indeterminate age. He seems to be bumbling and vague, with an overly apologetic, almost deferential manner. .
- DAVE GORDON – a smooth, boyish lawyer with his eye on a political future.
- DELIVERY BOY – early twenties.
REHEARSALS
Rehearsals will take place in the evening and one day on the weekend.
