*Cast: * 3 Women, 2 Men and an additional 3 for Chorus
All parts are mid to late twenties, except members of Chorus can be any

Nelly Fail – the youngest
Jenny June Fail – the middlest
Gertrude Fail – the eldest
John N. Fail –  the adopted brother
Mortimer Mortimer – the lover (must sing and move well)
Chorus – all cast will be in chorus

Open auditions will consist of cold readings from the script, movement,
singing and ability to perform various voices - snakes, parakeets, and
different characters. Be prepared to sing 16 bars of your favorite song,
with or without music. Accompanist will be provided.  This is a high energy
show.  Cast members should be physically fit.

*Story:*  By the end of 1928, all three Fail sisters will be dead —
expiring in reverse order, youngest to oldest, from blunt object to the
head, disappearance, and finally consumption. Tuneful songs, and a
whimsical chorus follow the story of Nelly, Jenny June, and Gerty as they
live out their lives above the family clock repair shop. A magical, musical
fable where, in the end, the power of love is far greater than any
individual’s successes or failures.
*Show Dates: * May 12-June 4, 2023  Performances on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday at 8pm, Sunday at 2pm
