The Smell of the Kill
AUDITION INFORMATION
About the Show
Dark, Funny, Poignant
Three women - Nicky, Debra and Molly - gather for their once-a-month dinner. They are friends of convenience since their husbands are college buddies. Left alone together, the women share marital secrets and realize all their lives are falling apart. As the play runs its course, the women weigh their miserable lives against the possibility of a new life - at a cost.
Audition Details
When: Sunday, November 22, 2026, from 6:30 to 10:00 p.m.
Where: Guelph Little Theatre, Rehearsal Hall
How to audition: Complete the Audition Application Form
Rehearsals: Times to be confirmed.
Performances: April 2 - 11, 2027
Roles Available
All roles are open to consideration regardless of age, background, ethnicity or sexual/gender orientation.
Masc is masculine presenting, Fem is feminine presenting, Open is open identity.
Nicky (Fem) - Commanding and confident. She takes charge of the situation and feels little to no remorse about the predicament of the men. Her husband has been indicted for financial embezzlement. Nicky serves as the driving force behind the dark revenge, handily orchestrating the final dark decision.
Molly (Fem) - Soft-spoken, trembling, innocent, and easily startled like a deer in the headlights. She desperately craves a child, which adds to her internal pressure. Her obsessively possessive husband, Danny, stalks her and subjects her to suffocating, affectionless control. Though initially timid and overwhelmed, her hidden reservoirs of deep resentment erupt.
Debra (Fem) - Sharp-tongued, ferocious, and highly conflicted. She acts as the emotional wild card and initial holdout among the trio. Her husband is actively leaving her for another woman. Debra initially resists Nicky's manipulations, leading to sharp comedic friction before she ultimately crosses the line and joins her friends in letting nature take its course.
Jay, Danny and Marty (all Masc) as written are never seen, only heard (however the director may take liberties with this concept). As written they exist entirely as offstage as disembodied voices filtering through the walls from the next room. Important that these actors are heard LIVE and serve an integral part to the action of the play.
Audition Into and Requirements
No monologues required. You will also be asked to read a selection from the play that will be assigned at that time either with another actor or with the reader provided. You will be given some time to read and prepare the scene, and also given some direction as to how to approach the piece. Please note that you may be cast for any of the parts, not just the one you read. Callback will only be scheduled if necessary.
Rehearsal Dates
Rehearsals will begin in December 2026 with table work and analysis. We have a long rehearsal period as there are a number of rental bookings at GLT that interfere with a smooth rehearsal process. Generally rehearsals will be 6:30-10:00 pm and the occasional Sunday afternoon or evening from 12-4pm or 6:30 - 9:30 pm respectively. Most rehearsals will be at GLT but due to scheduling conflicts, some rehearsals will be offsite. The location will be shared with you once it is firmed up.
Additional or longer rehearsals may be held once the production has moved into the theatre. Important dates are as follows: (dates/times may be adjusted):
Theatre move in and start to build on the stage: Mon. Mar. 15, 2027
Tech Move-in: beginning Mar. 15 through Mar. 25, 2027
