BUHLER, Kan. — Buhler High School is performing The Sound of Music this week.
The Sound of Music is a musical with music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, and a book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse.
It is loosely based on the 1949 memoir of Maria von Trapp, The Story of the Trapp Family Singers. Set in Austria on the eve of the Anschluss in 1938, the musical tells the story of Maria, who takes a job as governess to a large family while she decides whether to become a nun. She falls in love with the children, and eventually their widowed father, Captain von Trapp. He is ordered to accept a commission in the German Navy, but he opposes the Nazis. He and Maria decide on a plan to flee Austria with the children.
Opening night will be Thursday, Nov. 14 at 7:00 p.m. The musical will also be performed on Saturday, Nov. 16 at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday Nov. 17 at 2:00 p.m.
Tickets at the door are $15/adult and $10/student.
