The UMEI Community Players are back after a twenty-year hiatus. Three alumni, Erin Armstrong, Alyssa Epp and Jillian Suta, are excited to continue Helen Brown’s legacy and bring musicals back to UMEI!
We are thrilled to announce auditions for our upcoming community production of the beloved musical, The Sound of Music.
We invite everyone in the community—regardless of experience, or relationship to UMEI—to come out, audition, and be a part of this timeless story that has touched the hearts of millions.
The Sound of Music is a classic musical that tells the inspiring story of Maria, a young woman who brings joy, music, and love to the lives of the von Trapp family during the tumultuous period leading up to World War II.
With unforgettable songs like “Do-Re-Mi,” “My Favorite Things,” and “Edelweiss,” this production promises to be a joyful celebration of community and family.
We welcome everyone—young and old, seasoned performers and first-timers alike! Whether you’re an aspiring actor, a seasoned singer, or simply someone who loves theater and wants to get involved, we encourage you to join us.
We have roles for all ages, including children, teens, and adults. No prior experience is necessary; just bring your passion and enthusiasm!
This production is more than just a show; it’s an opportunity to bring our community together. We believe in the power of the arts to unite and uplift, and we want you to be a part of it.
Whether you’re on stage, behind the scenes, or cheering from the audience, your involvement is what makes this production special. So come out, meet new friends, and be part of something truly magical!
