LAKEPORT, Calif. – “The Sound of Music” is the familiar tale of a young Austrian woman sent from the abbey to govern the seven children in the villa of Captain von Trapp.  

Maria Rainer von Trapp not only teaches the children to sing, but how to live life joyfully. She also counsels the 16-year-old Liesl to “wait a year or two” to fall in love.

The “world’s most beloved musical,” by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, is presented by the drama club of Clear Lake High School.

“If you see only one live production this year,” says show producer C. Richard Smith, “be sure you catch this outstanding musical production by these very talented kids. They light up the stage and will have you singing, laughing and in tears.”
 
“The Sound of Music” is performed in the Marge Alakszay Center on the Lakeport school campus at 250 Lange St.   

Performances take place at 7 p.m. Friday, March 22, and Saturday, March 23; and 2 p.m. Sunday, March 24.

Tickets cost $15 for reserved seating and $10 for general seating. Children 12 and under are $5.  

Tickets are available through the CLHS office at 707-262-3010 or at the door.
