SILAS, a new musical for Broadway, announces a full-cast reading set for December 5.

 A treasure lost, a child found; a brother betrayed, a family redeemed.  

 A tale for young and old.

 SILAS -- a modern tale set in a time long past. A tale of betrayal and redemption, of tradition and upheaval, and of the power of class and privilege verses the power of love and family. A rich musical story, with a dramatic and tuneful score, beautifully told with elegance, humor, and heart. 

 SILAS: Book by Anthony Stein, music by Bruce Coughlin, lyrics by Michael Korie. 

Musical direction by

Wendy Bobbitt Cavett.  

Conceived and directed by Meridee Stein. 

Silas is based on the classic novel Silas Marner by George Elliot.
