Auditions *Failure: A Love Story* A musical farce by Philip Dawkins Directed by Ron Newell Audition Date: Saturday, February 19 from 1:00 to 3:00pm Show Dates: May 6 - 29, 2022 Performances on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8pm, Sunday at 2pm 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.
