This iconic Broadway musical, based on the memoir of Maria von Trapp, follows an ebullient postulant 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. The final collaboration between the duo of Rodgers and Hammerstein took the 1960 Tony Awards by storm. However, it rose to international popularity through the Academy Award-winning film adaptation starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, which debuted in 1965. The musical's songs include "Do-Re-Mi," "Climb Ev'ry Mountain," and "My Favorite Things."

For Servant Stage, which has a mission to make outstanding, entertaining, family-friendly shows accessible to the community, "The Sound of Music" has long been near the top of the list of shows the organization wanted to produce. Servant Stage's production has a 16-piece orchestra and a cast of nearly 60 performers, including 20 young local performers sharing the roles of the von Trapp children and a 25-member women's ensemble giving voice to the nuns of Nonnberg Abbey.

All performances are offered at pay-what-you-will prices. For more information and to reserve tickets, visit http://www.ServantStage.org or call 717-455-0255.
