The Sound Of Music
Nov 23 - Nov 30 & Dec 1 - Dec 3, 1983
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 the German navy. The family makes a narrow escape over the mountains to Switzerland on the eve of World War II.
