(LEONIA, NJ) -- The Players Guild of Leonia will hold auditions for The Psychic by Sam Bobrick on three days from January 4-11, 2026. This play is a laugh-out-loud mystery full of twists, turns, and unexpected revelations. The production will be directed by Terri Caust.
"This play is a tongue-in-cheek Noir mystery," explained Caust. "The characters are more self-aware than most, and know that they’re playing a type, but they do it with earnestness and truth. Please make strong choices. If I want something else, I’ll give you the opportunity to adjust. I may include improv in the audition process."
Auditions will take place Sunday, January 4 from 4:00pm to 6:00pm; Tuesday, January 6 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm; and Sunday, January 11 from 4:00pm to 6:00pm.
