"Brigadoon" Musical Searching for Performers
Actors for production of "Brigadoon". ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See the details below. About the project: Synopsis: While hunting in the Scottish Highlands, contemporary New Yorker Tommy Albright stumbles upon the picturesque village of Brigadoon, which seems like a place out of time. There, Tommy falls in love — not just with a beautiful lass named Fiona, but with the village itself. Only then does he discover Brigadoon's secret: the town appears once every 100 years, for a single day, and will soon vanish into the mist. Will Tommy choose to return to his life in the modern world … or remain in enchanted Brigadoon, forever?

24 roles
(female presenting, soprano [B3-A5]). A grounded, intelligent Scottish woman. Independent and courageous, she loves her land and family deeply.

Dance: Some dance/movement; grace and presence important. Must move comfortably in group ceilidh or social dances.
