THE SOUND OF MUSIC

Music by RICHARD RODGERS
Lyrics by OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN III
Book by HOWARD LINDSAY and RUSSEL CROUSE
Suggested by “The Trapp Family Singers” by Maria Augusta Trapp
Directed by Prof. Claire Slavovsky
Music Direction by Prof. David Tahere
Conducted by Prof. Lok Kim

The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to become the world’s most beloved musical. 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. The motion picture remains the most popular movie musical of all time.

SILENT SKY

Written by Lauren Gunderson
Directed by Cara Smole ’22

Silent Sky is the transformative story of a dedicated female astronomer at the dawn of the 20th century. Henrietta’s life has been driven be one question, “Where are we in the universe?” As the story progresses and as science moves forward, she learns, not only how to measure the stars, but how to measure her life. This show is a shameless attempt of the women in art to honor the women in science.
