“The Sound of Music” is the beloved musical about Maria, who had longed to be a nun since she was a young girl, yet when she became old enough discovered it wasn't at all what she thought.
Often in trouble and doing the wrong things, Maria is sent to the house of a retired naval captain, named Captain Von Trapp, to care for his children.
Von Trapp was widowed several years before and was left to care for seven “rowdy” children. The children have run off countless governesses. Maria soon learns that all these children need is a little love to change their attitudes.
Maria teaches the children to sing, and through her, music is brought back into the hearts of the Von Trapp family.
Ryan Ingram is the director, and Debbe Picerno is the vocal director.
The musical director is Veronica Umstott, and the assistant director is Ben McDonald.
Sheila Powers is the producer and fine arts adviser.
