As of last week, “The Sound of Music” cast was short just one male actor and will need some extras, partygoers and dancers as it gets closer to the Dec. 2 and 3 stage performance.
“It’s hard to find male actors in town,” Cyni Crary, one of the show organizers, said last Friday. She described the open part as “kind of like a bad guy,” though he doesn’t have many lines.
The cast already includes almost 20 Wrangell volunteers, plus about a dozen singers, musicians and a choreographer. About five more volunteers are helping behind the scenes with set designs and other work.
It will be a shortened version of “The Sound of Music,” running just over an hour, which will include a puppet show during intermission, Crary said.
It’s been more than 20 years since the community staged live theater.
The cast has been in rehearsal almost a month, meeting twice a week, Crary said.
The performances are planned for 7 p.m. Dec. 2 and 4 p.m. Dec. 3 at the Nolan Center, and Crary said they hope to sell out both shows. Tickets have not yet gone on sale.
It’s been great “to see the excitement and the amount of effort people are putting into it,” she said.
Anyone interested in the last part in the show or helping out can contact Crary at 503-720-0106.
