There is currently a casting call for a re-imagined production of “A Funny Thing Happened On The Way to The Forum” by Stephen Sondheim and book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart.

You will need to provide sheet music for the accompanist.

Interested parties should e-mail a headshot and resume to funnythingchs@gmail.com for consideration.
