Cast Notification

The audition panel would like to thank and praise all of the 101 auditionees for the cast of the Sound of Music.  We were thrilled, excited and challenged over the 5 days of auditions to see such a wealth of talent and such strong preparation, which made the task extremely difficult.  A special thanks to those that assisted with auditions including Michael Glover, Rebecca Glover, Koby Cupitt, Adam Foster, Lauren Demol, Cameron Zingel, Pat Green, Liza Allen, Cilla Aslanidis, Nyla and Allan Collis.

Unfortunately, our cast is restricted by size and budget limitations.  Therefore, we know many will be disappointed.  We urge all those people to try again in future shows as your talent was valuable and often amazing.

GOOD LUCK AS YOU TRY AGAIN!

As described on the information sheet, no audition appraisals are available. So please do not call or email.

All successful cast members are required to be at the Miner’s Lamp Theatre Tuesday 24th April for a 7pm start.  We thank you in advance for your punctuality.
