Auditions for Blood Brothers, by Silhouette Stages

Be prepared to sing a dramatic song and prepared to sing a second contrasting song if asked. And you will be asked to do a cold reading from the script.

Mo Dutterer and Ric Ryder team up to direct Willy Russell's masterpiece.

Auditions will take place at Slayton House on December 6th and 7th from 7 pm until 9 pm. Show dates are March 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, and 13.

Synopsis: Mrs Johnstone is working as a cleaner for Mrs Lyons when she becomes pregnant with twins. The financial burden of two children is too much for her and Mrs Lyons is longing for a child of her own, so Mrs Johnstone keeps Mickey and gives the other boy, Edward, to Mrs Lyons. Though the blood brothers are never told they are related and their mothers try their best to keep them apart, their paths do cross later in life and all hell breaks loose.
