At Crafty Bastard Brewery, 2-8 PM

With a book by Howard Lindsay & Russel Crouse, the inspiring story is based on the Austrian heroine, Maria von Trapp and her 1949 memoir The Story of the Trapp Family Singers.

Set in the mountains of Austria before the Anschluss in 1938, THE SOUND OF MUSIC follows Maria Rainer (Casey Maxwell), an exuberant postulant from Nonnberg Abbey who becomes governess to seven seemingly rambunctious children longing for the attention of their father, retired naval commander, Captain von Trapp (Oliver Hoig). A young woman who needs a place, children who need a mother, and a widower who needs a wake-up call – all of whom need love. It’s only a matter of time before everyone’s needs are realized, hearts are won over and a family comes together just in time to escape the impending invasion by the Nazis.

The von Trapp children include Alexa Kaczmarek (Marta), Olivia Williams (Leisl), Makenna Reilly (Gretl), Elisabeth Greeson (Brigitta), Jonah Rawlings (Kurt), Danny Davis (Friedrich), Ella Trisler (Louisa). Other cast include Carly Rawlings (Elsa), Jimmy Sherrod (Max), Cadence Collins (Mother Abbess), Clark Herd (Rolf), Matthew Foster (Franz), Amy Davis (Frau Schmitt), and various other ensemble members.

This production features classic songs that any musical theatre fan will recognize, including “My Favorite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi,” “Edelweiss,” and the title song “The Sound of Music.” In addition, those only familiar with the film will be delighted to hear two additional songs included in the stage version, which serve as an integral part of the plotline.

This beloved production offers a refreshing take on a familiar classic that will not disappoint, including an innovative new rendition of the well-known mountain scape.
