DARK OF THE MOON - Alchemy Theatre Troupe

Announcing auditions for the Appalachian folk drama Dark of the Moon on Saturday, August 17th at 2:00 PM and Monday, August 19th at 7:30 PM at Pea Ridge United Methodist Church.

Directed by Robert Hutchens, Dark of the Moon by Howard Richardson and William Berney tells the story of John, the Witch Boy, who falls in love with a human Barbara Allen. The play is a blend of folklore, fantasy, and Appalachian culture and includes many musical numbers from square dances, mountain ballads, and hymns. The cast of 25 includes roles for actors and/or singers and/or dancers of all genders, ages 15 and up. Some roles are non-singing, some are non-speaking, so people of a variety of talents are encouraged to audition.

Evening rehearsals (four or five per week—though not everyone will be called for every rehearsal) will begin August 20 and continue until the performances on September 27 and 28 and October 4 and 5. The first weeks of rehearsals will be at Pea Ridge United Methodist Church, while later rehearsals and performances will be at the Barboursville Park Amphitheater.

The audition will consist of cold reading from the script and a prepared song. A folk song or hymn would be appropriate. Accompaniment is not necessary.

For further information about the auditions, call the director, Robert Hutchens, at 865-686-2743
