Highlands High School’s Theatre Department Brings the Hills Alive With The Sound of Music

WHAT:  Students from Highlands High School’s Theatre Department will make audiences reminisce and sing along as they present The Sound of Music.   Based on a true story, The Sound of Music is the masterful retelling of the Family von Trapp singers with memorable music from Rodgers and Hammerstein.  Familiar songs in include: “My Favorite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi,” “Climb Ev’ry Mountain” and many more!

The story begins when Maria, a young postulant whose love of freedom battles her strict religious lifestyle, is sent by her superiors to be the governess to Captain von Trapp’s seven troublesome children. Unlike previous governesses, Maria becomes friends with the children through their mutual love of music. Soon, even the strict Captain von Trapp softens and falls in love with Maria. Unfortunately, when the Nazis invade Austria the family is forced to flee over the Alps to escape.

Highlands’s production stars Abi Moore as Maria and Josty Sieverding as Captain von Trapp.  The von Trapp family singers include Madeline Anderson as Liesl, Payton Epperson as Friedrich, Rachel Zimmerman as Louisa, Sam Burnham as Kurt, Michelle Chalk as Brigitta, McKenna Pinkston as Marta, and Caroline Slaby as Gretl.
