THE STORY
Chris Keller returns from serving in World War II, hoping to pick up the pieces of his life. What he discovers is that there is no going back to the way things were. As he deals with his own adjustments to civilian life and his attempts to build a future, he slowly uncovers a deeply buried family secret that will alter all his relationships and call on his idealism, for himself and his family. In so doing, he and all the family members must grapple with the question, “Am I my brother’s keeper?”

WHAT WILL AUDITIONS BE LIKE?
You will sign in and fill out an audition form to tell us about yourself. Don’t worry if you’ve never done this before — experience isn’t required. A script will be given to you at the auditions. You will be asked to read from the script and sing from sheet music, and learn dance steps, along with others who are auditioning.

WHAT ROLES ARE AVAILABLE?
There are roles for adults ages 18-80 and one role for a young boy between 8 and 12.

WHEN ARE REHEARSALS?
Not long after auditions, rehearsals will be scheduled weeknights, with some weekend involvement closer to the performance dates, which are March 13, 14, 15, 16(M), 19, 20, 21 & 22 2025.
