 |
| The “Sound of Music” opens on Thursday with several professional pieces from the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera. |
The Woodlands Repertory Theatre, part of the Class Act Productions family, presents “The Sound of Music” opening Thursday and continuing Nov. 22 & 23.
When a postulant proves too high-spirited for the religious life, she is dispatched to serve as governess for the seven children of a widowed naval captain. Her growing rapport with the youngsters, coupled with her generosity of spirit, gradually captures the heart of the stern captain, and they marry. Upon returning from their honeymoon they discover that Austria has been invaded by the Nazis who demand the Captain's immediate service in their navy.
The family's 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. This final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to become the world's most beloved musical and the motion picture version remains the most beloved movie musical of all time.
In keeping with Class Act Production’s reputation of offering Broadway caliber productions, coupled with the many visual elements required to simulate the splendor of Austria, several set back drops and set pieces have been secured from the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera.
Performances of “The Sound of Music” are Nov. 20, 22 & 23 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 23 at 2:30 p.m. at the Nancy Bock Center for Performing Arts, 3800 S. Panther Creek Drive, The Woodlands.
