Join Us for Auditions of “The Grace Project” – A Heartwarming Musical!
August 29-31

Step back in time to the Roaring Twenties and immerse yourself in the vibrant community of Harmony Falls, at the heart of which lies a historic community center. But when a bank foreclosure threatens its existence, Reverend Thomas faces the tough decision to sell the property to settle the loan. Enter ambitious developer John Franklin (Jack) Davenport, who sees this as a chance to build his first skyscraper. However, the Harmony Falls residents are determined to save the community center they call home. In a twist of fate, the neighbors choose to save Jack when he faces his own crisis, teaching him a profound lesson about grace and redemption.

Audition Details: We want to create a diverse, large ensemble that reflects the spirit of community. So, we are seeking a dynamic cast of actors, singers, and dancers, ages 7 (first grade) to 99!
