Alchemy Theatre Troupe Announces Audition Dates and Details for DARK OF THE MOON
By: Richard Allen Jul. 28, 2019
Alchemy Theatre Troupe is excited to announce audition dates and details for their upcoming Appalachian folk drama Dark of the Moon.
Dark of the Moon tells the story of a Witch Boy named John who falls in love with a human named Barbara. In an attempt to woo Barbara, John is given a human form which he is allowed to maintain as long as Barbara stays true to him. This folk lore, written by Howard Richardson and William Berney, made its Broadway debut in 1945 and is loosely based on the European folk song The Ballad of Barbara Allen.
Dark of the Moon is a unique blend of folklore, Appalachian culture, and fantasy. The production features multiple musical numbers told through square dances, mountain ballads, and hymns. Robert Hutchens will be directing the show for Alchemy Theatre Troupe.
