The Sound of Music Table Read party
Project Overview
Calling all classical musical theatre fans, I invite you to join me for a table read of the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical films: The Sound of Music. Because this is not a production it will be a table read on Discord, it will be one I will work around everyone's schedule.
To audition I ask you send a recording of yourself doing the character's lines or singing. All roles open
Disclaimer: I am not affilated with the Rodgers and Hammerstein Organization, 20th Century Fox or any of their associates.
When you are logged in, you can comment, add submissions, create projects, upvote, search open roles, and way more. Login here.

Every morning, you will drill the children in their studies. I will not permit them to dream away their summer holidays. Each afternoon, they will march about the grounds breathing deeply. Bedtime is to be strictly observed - no exceptions...You will see to it that they conduct themselves at all time with the utmost orderliness and decorum. I am placing you in command.
Fräulein, is it to be at every meal, or merely at dinnertime, that you intend on leading us all through this rare and wonderful new world of... indigestion?
