The Sound of Music Table Read party

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.
