 Audition information -
The play is not a musical, per se - it is a straight play with "musical
interludes" between scenes, and some within scenes.  The quartet doubles as
1940's radio vocalists and as a USO troupe in the European theater of war.
 Singers should ideally bring a ballad-like song (from the 1940's would be
ideal) with sheet music in their key.  An accompanist will be provided.
 Please, no a capella auditions or recorded accompaniment. Those auditioning
for the acting roles, which require no singing, will read excerpts from the
script.


This is a play about “the Greatest Generation,” but not written so much for
them as for their children and grandchildren. In those days, men went off to
war and women stayed home.  Will and Jessie Fairchild are typical examples
of what happened to millions of American families. They can only stay in
touch by letter, and letters between them form the basis of the play's
dialogue. The war changes both of them. The play is both touching and
poignant. There is humor, but it is, after all, about the war. Audiences
will enjoy this play, but they will also be given something to think about.
