Sophie is filled with guilt because she did not save her sister, Rose, from the fire and now cannot find her. When Sophie, along with the ghosts of other dead factory girls, appears to her, Malena encourages Sophie to tell her story, never imagining they will all be transported back in time to relive the tale. An ensemble of actors portrays the ghosts of those who died in the fire and seamlessly takes on individual roles in Sophie’s story. In this tale of regret, responsibility, and forgiveness, Sophie reveals her terrible secret and finds peace while helping Malena see her sister in a new light. </span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(35, 34, 35); min-height: 15px;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""></span><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(35, 34, 35);" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""><b class="">WHEN</b></span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(35, 34, 35);" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class="">Auditions – 3:00-6:00pm, February 1st</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(35, 34, 35);" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class="">Callbacks – 3:00-6:00pm, February 8th</span></div><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(35, 34, 35);" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""> </span></p><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(35, 34, 35);" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class="">Rehearsals will take place most Saturdays and Sundays from 3pm to 6pm starting March at the Bloom Movement Studio in Saratoga Springs. </span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(35, 34, 35); min-height: 15px;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""></span><br class=""></div><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(35, 34, 35);" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""> </span></p><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(35, 34, 35);" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""><b class="">WHERE</b></span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(35, 34, 35);" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class="">Bloom: A Movement Studio, Suite 1000, 153 Regent Street, Saratoga Springs, NY</span></div><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(35, 34, 35);" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""> </span></p><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(35, 34, 35);" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""><b class="">WHAT TO EXPECT</b></span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(35, 34, 35);" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class="">Please register by sending an email to <a href="mailto:adastratroupe@gmail.com" class=""><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 255);" class="">adastratroupe@gmail.com</span></a> before February 1st.
