Damascus Theatre Company ANNOUNCES Auditions for MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG

PERFORMANCE DATES:
Weekend performances March 7-23, 2025 at Arts on the Green, Gaithersburg Arts Barn.

REHEARSALS:
Rehearsals will begin in mid-January (evenings and weekends) and will be held at venues in Montgomery County, primarily in Gaithersburg.

ABOUT THE SHOW:
The show tells the story of how three friends’ lives and friendship devolve over the course of 20 years; it focuses particularly on Franklin Shepard, a talented composer of musicals who, over those 20 years, abandons his friends and songwriting career to become a producer of Hollywood movies. Like the play on which it is based, the show’s story moves in reverse chronology, beginning in 1976 at the friends’ lowest moment and ending in 1957, at their youthful best.
