Flowers for Mrs. Harris Model Call

The Ruth and Nathan Hale Theater is pleased to announce a Dior Model Call for their upcoming production of Flowers for Mrs. Harris. A charming new musical based on the beloved film Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris!
When housekeeper Ada Harris discovers something breathtaking, she sets off on a journey that will change her life. From post-war London to magical Paris, Ada's presence transforms others, yet she grapples with releasing her past. Can she allow her life to bloom?
As part of the production, Mrs. Harris travels to Paris and attends a Dior Fashion show in the salon of the famous Dior Fashion House. We will be crafting 9 exquisite Dior-style dresses for this production and are on the lookout for models or dancers to grace the “runway” each night. The total time commitment during performances will be approximately one hour.
