Sound of Music
April 26 - May 19, 2024
Thursday, Friday and Saturday Shows at 8:00pm. Sunday Shows at 2:30pm Director: Dillon Bates The inspirational story, based on the memoir of Maria Augusta Trapp, follows an ebullient postulate who serves as governess to the seven children of the imperious Captain von Trapp, bringing music and joy to the household. But as the forces of Nazism take hold of Austria, Maria and the entire von Trapp family must make a moral decision.
Background information on the The Sound of Music and the Von Trapp family.
