Kirkwood Theatre Guild will hold auditions for the fourth show of their 24/25 season, A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder, directed by Mary Mather on Saturday, February 8th and Sunday, February 9th. A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder will be performed at the Robert G Reim Theater in Kirkwood May 9-18, 2025. This is the knock-’em-dead, uproarious hit and the most-nominated show of the 2014 season with four Tony wins including Best Musical. When the low-born Monty Navarro finds out that he’s eighth in line for an earldom in the lofty D’Ysquith family, he figures his chances of outliving his predecessors are slight, so what’s a guy to do? Can he knock off his unsuspecting relatives without being caught and become the ninth Earl of Highhurst? And what of love? Because murder isn’t the only thing on Monty’s mind….
Mary Mather, Director
