‼️AUDITION NOTICE‼️
“The Silver Belles”
The Silver Belles is a heartwarming and hilarious one-act holiday musical set in small-town Tennessee. When the beloved director of the local Christmas pageant suddenly passes away, her friends—an endearing group of Southern women—band together to keep her legacy alive and save the show. With toe-tapping country tunes, colorful characters, and a dash of ghostly charm, this musical celebrates friendship, community, and the spirit of the season.
