This beloved musical classic for the whole family returns to the AACT stage, telling the tale of Maria, a novice nun assigned the difficult task of being governess to Captain von Trapp's seven children. Set against the background of the Nazi occupation of Austria, it's sure to tug at your heart-strings and make you feel alive all over again. Try to keep a dry eye by the time the Captain sings "Edelweiss" as the von Trapp family prepares for their escape across the mountains to a new life.
