Rodgers and Hammerstein’s most beloved masterwork, “The Sound of Music,” wraps up its final performances this Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Carson City Community Center theater.
Having captivated audiences for 60 years, winning multiple Tony and Academy Awards, the local production is presented by Western Nevada Musical Theatre Company at the Carson City Community Center’s Bob Boldrick Theater, 851 East William Street.
The production tells the story of a young novice, Maria Ranier, sent by her convent to be a nanny to the seven children of a widowed naval captain, then fills the house with love and music.
The love story of Maria and the captain is set against the backdrop of the Nazi occupation of Austria. The musical is inspired by the story of the von Trapp Family Singers, who became famous touring in America after World War II.
A full professional orchestra accompanies the award-winning score.
Final weekend performances are scheduled this weekend, May 16-18. Shows start at 7:30 p.m., on May 16 and May 17. Matinee showings are at 2 p.m. on May 17 and May 18.
