Bedford Off Broadway seeking leading lady for "Laura"


Bedford Off Broadway is a Community Theater in Bedford NH and is in need of a Leading Lady to play Laura in the play Laura by Vera Caspary & George Sklar a mystery in 3 acts in the genre of film noir.  Laura is a very attractive woman in her late 20's early 30's.

The synopsis of the play:  When Mark McPherson first falls in love with Laura, he knows he's in love with a phantom - for Laura is dead and he's in charge of her murder investigation.  From her portrait, her letters, her personal effects and his contacts with the three men who loved her, Mark has created an image of a woman tantalizingly alive and real.  When she appears in the midst of a thunderstorm, very much alive after all it is revealed that Laura's best friend (and rival) was the true victim of the crime.  But now, all evidence seems to point to Laura's guilt.  Despite his growing love for her - a love which Laura seems to return - Mark is about to pin the crime on her, when the real murdererappears and tries to do away with the girl he meant to kill in the first place . . . . Laura.
