Spring 2012 Our Spring 2012 Production will be “The Sound of Music” - Music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, suggested by “The Story of the Trapp Family Singers” Produced by arrangement with Rogers and Hammerstein Organization, New York, 10001. Director: Harriet Friedman Music Director: Sandy Kendall Producer: CherylAnn Welch
Synopsis of Play: The story is about the von Trapp Family who are living a peaceful life in the Austrian mountains until windowed Captain Georg von Trapp is recalled to his navy post. If he does not comply it will be at the peril of his and his family’s life. The story is also about the love affair between the Captain and the children’s governness, Maria. When Austria is invaded by the Nazis, their “narrow escape over the mountains to Switzerland on the eve of World War II provides one of the most thrilling and inspirational finales ever presented in the theatre.”
