PORT ANGELES — The Port Angeles Community Players will conduct tryouts for an upcoming production of “The Haunting of Hill House” at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

• Dr. Montague — Investigator of the supernatural, distinguished, in his 40s to 60s

• Eleanor — Shy recluse, 20s to 40s

• Theadora — A creature of mood and sudden impulse, 20s to 40s

• Luke Sanderson — Charming heir to Hill House, 30s to 40s

• Mrs. Dudley — Stern, uncommunicative housekeeper, 60s

• Mrs. Montague — Formidable and overpowering, 40s to 60s

• Arthur Parker — Meek but intense, 40s to 60s
