Beverly Arts Center ALL IS CALM Auditions, Wednesday, September 14

Project Synopsis: The Western Front, Christmas, 1914. Out of the violence a silence, then a song. A German soldier steps into No Man’s Land singing “Stille Nacht.” Thus begins an extraordinary night of camaraderie, music, and peace. A remarkable true story, told in the words and songs of the men who lived it.

Seeking male-identifying singer-actors to play the roles of soldiers in this story. The characters in this show sing in traditional TTBB choral style, a capella, and all performers must be strong music readers, have a strong sense of pitch, and be able to hold an independent musical line within the context of a chorus. Ability to play TAPS on coronet/trumpet is a plus. The characters in the piece represent different nationalities (German, French, British, Scottish), and all actors will be required to engage in accent work.
