Dark of the Moon Auditions

Towngate will hold auditions for Dark of the Moon – by Howard Richardson. Dark of the Moon is based on the haunting Scottish folk song “The Ballad of Barbara Allen.” Employing a large cast and imaginative settings, Dark of the Moon recounts the story of John, a strange “witch boy” who falls in love with the beautiful Barbara Allen in a small town in the Smoky Mountains. John is given human form to woo and marry Barbara – on the condition that she remain true to him for at least one year. The marriage is consummated, and Barbara gives birth to a witch child, whom the townspeople destroy in a superstitious frenzy. During a religious revival, Barbara is led to betray her husband, thus breaking their spell of love. As she dies, John returns forever to the world of the mountain witches.
