Cast Announced for the world premiere of Tales of the Artisan!

Fauquier Community Theatre’s production team of “Tales of the Artisan” is thrilled to release the cast list for the world premiere of the magical new musical with performances on Fridays and weekends May 1 – 17, 2026.

 

The musical has a powerhouse cast, and audiences are sure to enjoy seeing this original work filled with lush music, intrigue, and humor. Book and music are written by the award-winning team of Matt Moore and Cate Murray. The musical is a heartwarming, gripping, sometimes whimsical but always moving story of a small Scots/Irish Gaelic family with a powerful secret fleeing political persecution in 1814 America.

 

“Tales of the Artisan” transports the viewers to a secret world of magic, wonder and intrigue. Part coming-of-age story, part action thriller, and part homage to the incredible connection of family, the musical features an evolution of early American music, beginning with its roots in Scotch/Irish culture and exploring aspects of early folk. The score is full of beautiful blends, big dance numbers, magic effects, breathtaking choreography, and features a small on-stage orchestra comprised of the primary characters.
