The musical is based on the 1949 book The Story of the Trapp Family Singers by Maria von Trapp. 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. Many songs from the musical have become standards, including "Do-Re-Mi", "My Favorite Things", "Edelweiss", "Climb Ev'ry Mountain", and the title song "The Sound of Music".
IllumiNature, a brand-new outdoor spectacle from Playhouse Arts Follow the light. Discover the wonder. Illuminate nature.
On the evening of August 28, beneath the glow of the full moon, Playhouse Arts invites you to step into IllumiNature, a twilight spectacle from Playhouse Arts transforming the trails of Carlson Park into a magical journey of light, art, and imagination.
Join us through riverside paths led by giant puppets and glowing lanterns. Along the way, hidden artistic encounters await, from live performances and interactive installations to a grand finale featuring shadow puppetry and riverfront spectacle, created by local artists James Hildebrandt, Laura Muñoz, Carissa Clark, Katie Belknap, James Zeller, David Ferney, Victoria Timoteo, Alexandra Hilsee, Nicholas Simone, Jacqueline Dandeneau, and more.
This immersive experience brings together art, nature, and community in a one-night-only celebration of 20 Years as Playhouse Arts. Follow the lanterns and walk the circle, where light becomes shadow, and shadow becomes light.
There will also be a series of free community lantern building workshops on August 8, 16, 22, and 23.
