Fulton Theatre Posts "The Sound Of Music"

Fulton Theatre, 12 N. Prince St., Lancaster, will present "The Sound of Music" on select dates from Thursday, Feb 24, through Sunday, March 20.

Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II's last collaboration, "The Sound of Music" follows a young postulant named Maria, who serves as governess to the seven children of the imperious Captain Von Trapp and brings music and joy to the household. As the forces of Nazism take hold of Austria, Maria and the von Trapp family face a moral decision. Featuring well-known songs such as "Climb Ev'ry Mountain," "My Favorite Things," "Do Re Mi," "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" and the title number, "The Sound of Music" earned five Tony Awards and five Oscars. The original story is based on "The Trapp Family Singers" by Maria Augusta Trapp. This production holds special significance for the Fulton as many cast members, designers, and crew members were part of previous Fulton productions of "The Sound of Music."

The cast features Hanley Smith as Maria, Will Ray as Captain von Trapp, Daniella Dalli as the Mother Abbess, Taylor Quick as Liesl, Austin Phillips as Rolf, Blake Hammond as Max Detweiler, and Katie Sina as Elsa Schraeder. The other members of the von Trapp family are played by local young actors Ariana Stambaugh, Jack Packer, Carly Geiter, Charlie Carroccio, and Lucy Trout as well as Penelope Schulz, whose mother and grandmother were in the 1992 Fulton production as Marta and Maria, respectively.

The creative team includes Marc Robin, Ben McNaboe, Sam Groisser, Anthony Lascoskie Jr., Paul Black, Michael Schweikardt, Josh Allamon, Rebekah Church, Domingo Mancuello, Katelin Walsko, and Joey Abramowicz.
