“THE SOUND OF MUSIC” IS SOLD OUT

Directed by Melonie Carideo
Music Directed by Ellen Kimball

Christen Webb, Stage Manager & Asst. Dir.
Jamey Wright, Asst. Music Dir.

Set in Salzburg, Austria, 1938, on the eve of the Anschluss, a Roman Catholic postulate, Maria, is sent to serve as governess to the seven children of a former naval officer, Captain Georg von Trapp. When Maria discovers the children are treated like a ship’s crew (complete with a whistle! of all things), she sets out to help them—and The Captain—experience joy and music. The children thrive under her care, while a quiet attraction blooms between the staid Captain and the free-spirited Maria.

Though the children are happily learning music and playing, the adults must choose between appeasing Nazis or staying loyal to Austria. One of the most beloved musicals of all time, The Sound of Music will capture your heart.
