Our Next Musical Will Be....


Whew!  

After much perusing of scripts over the summer, we’ve finally come across an awesome script that should be a great fit for our group.

The script we’ve chosen is Willow Blues, from Maverick Musicals (www.mavmuse.com) out of Australia.  Our first setting will be a porcelain factory in Victorian England.  One of the characters loves telling stories, and he enthralls his coworkers with the tale behind the Blue Willow china pattern.  This provides us with a play-within-a-play, and a second setting, Ancient China. 

I’m excited about the great role possibilities for everyone!  You’re a talented bunch, and I think you can have a lot of fun with this one.  And the costumes!  As if Victorian England wasn’t enough we’ll also have Ancient China!  (Your character will be from only one of the times – you won’t need a costume from each period.)

I hope you’re all as excited as I am.  We look forward to seeing you at auditions on October 4!
