Murder springs eternal.

The annual spring production by the Nechako Community Theatrics Society (NCTS) will be a loving homage to classic killing.

The internatio­nally popular Appointmen­t With Death by bestsellin­g author Agatha Christie is the play in the spotlight, and the NCTS is looking for a cast and crew of volunteers to raise the curtain.

Auditions are scheduled for Feb. 22, Feb. 25 and March 1.

“No experience necessary, just a can-do attitude and a willingnes­s to give it your all,” said the call for auditions.

“In addition to actors, we are also looking for people interested in being behind the scenes as stage hands/technician­s. Our technical director and stage manager will be there to talk with those interested.”

NCTS is an all-local amateur theatre organizati­on dedicated to producing comedy and drama using the social diversity of our community.

They recently produced The Vagina Monologues, Treasure Island – A Ben Crocker Pantomime, Murder at the Grand Gatsby Speakeasy, and many others in the past couple of years.

For those who sign themselves up for an Appointmen­t With Death, rehearsals will happen from 7 to 9 p.m. on Mondays and Fridays from Mar. 4 to May 20, followed by two full on-stage dress rehearsals.

Auditions and rehearsals happen at the Big Brothers-Big Sisters complex at 777 Kinsmen Place.

The performanc­es will happen May 31, June 1, 7 and 8.
