ADULT Roles Available (all ages listed are suggested playing ages and will be adjusted to fit the needs of our casting):

Maria Rainer: (musical theatre mix/soprano, 20-35) A postulant at Nonnberg Abbey – young, free spirited, warm, gentle, and kind with much determination.

Captain Georg von Trapp: (baritone, 35-45) A retired Austrian naval captain. Polished, yet very military in the way he runs his life to repress his sadness over the death of his wife; underneath, he is warm, understanding, and determined.

Max Detweiller: (tenor/baritone, 30+) Charming and vital; a man of sophistication who enjoys the good life; true and loyal friend to the von Trapp family.

Elsa Schrader: (mezzo soprano, 35-45) A baroness of taste and elegance, sophisticated, dignified, and mature.

Mother Abbess: (legit soprano, wide vocal range, 40+) Motherly, understanding, strong, and authoritative, but kind.

Sister Berthe: (alto) Mistress of Novices, prudish, straight laced with a quick tongue, she is less tolerant than other nuns.

Sister Margaretta: (mezzo) Mistress of Postulants, very kind, understanding, and concerned.

Sister Sophia: (soprano) Neither demanding nor critical, sticks with the rules.

Franz: (30+) The von Trapp butler, rather formal but not without spirit, he is very German and loyal to the Fascist cause.

Frau Schmidt: (30+) The housekeeper, stoic, very little personality; she does her job efficiently but without affection. Strong and somewhat dominating.

Herr Zeller: (40+) Stern and unsmiling, a typical Nazi official whose primary concern is to see that everyone toes the line.

Ursula: (20+) A maid of the von Trapps.

Baron Elberfeld: (40+) Austrian who is aghast of what he sees as the German invasion

Baroness Elberfeld: (40+) The Baron’s wife

Frau Ullrich (30+): Dinner companion of Herr Zeller

Admiral von Schrieber: (40+) Admiral of the German Navy. Has a mission, and is there to do it, but not as stern as Herr Zeller.
