Windham Theatre Guild Announces Auditions for SAVE THE PALACE

Auditions are Tuesday & Wednesday, May 31 and June 1, 2022 at 7:00 PM at the Burton Leavitt Theatre.

By:

The Windham Theatre Guild is excited to be producing an original musical comedy by Connecticut writer Roy O'Neil. The show is set in Waterbury, Connecticut. It is the story of Eddie and his band, a one hit wonder from the 1960s, who 30 years later is trying to save the Palace Theater where the band got both its start and its name. It's a roller coaster ride of emotional moments with endearing songs to make you sing and dance, and a crew of corrupt politicians who will make you laugh till you cry.
