Auditioners do not need to prepare a memorized reading, but having a practiced song to sing is advisable (with sheet music if it is not from The Sound of Music). An accompanist will be provided

Fifty years ago this season the final collaboration between Rodgers and Hammerstein was destined to become the world’s most beloved musical.  When a postulant named Maria proves too high-spirited for religious life, she is dispatched to serve as a governess for the seven children of a widowed naval captain.  Her growing rapport with the youngsters, coupled with her generosity of spirit, gradually captures the heart of the stern captain and the entire Von Trapp family in one of the most thrilling and inspirational true life stories ever put on stage.  Audience favorites include such timeless hits as: My Favorite Things, Do-Re-Mi, Sixteen Going on Seventeen, Edelweiss, the show-stopping Climb Ev’ry Mountain and, of course, the title song, The Sound of Music.

Performance dates:  April 30 — May 2, May 7— 9 and 14 —16

Directed by Lary Etten
