Open auditions will be held to cast the rollicking farce, Who Killed Gilbert Botello? by Garrick Paikai. The show will be directed by R. Kevin Garcia Doyle and runs August 24 through September 24, 2017.
Gilbert Botello is dead.
But who killed him? Was it the butler or the maid? Was it the eccentric tycoon or his son? Detective Roy Rodger Kalauakekahuna III and his sidekick Officer Billy Souza investigate the murder and astonishing events surrounding the untimely demise of Gilbert Botello in this comedic murder mystery. Peopled with recognizable characters, Who Killed Gilbert Botello reshapes the typical British whodunit into a refreshing representation of Hawai‘i.
