The summer Vanguard Production series continues through July 27 with “The Sound of Music,” hosted by Westminster Presbyterian Church.
The cast includes several individuals from the Ocean Beach, Point Loma communities and greater San Diego. Set in the mountains of Austria in pre-World War II, this was the final collaboration between legendary screenwriters Rodgers and Hammerstein. Blended into a beautiful story of faith, joy, tears and courage, this music has and will endure through the years. Guests will love the character of Maria, who sings the title song “The Sound of Music” like you have seldom heard it. The seven von Trapp children are as much fun as children can be, and the Reverend Mother’s powerful rendition of “Climb Every Mountain” will inspire. These and songs like “Do-Re-Mi,” “My Favorite Things” and “Edelweiss” are classics of musical theater never to be forgotten. They will all be on stage to experience, and guests might just leave the theater singing.
The cost is $17 for adults, $13 for seniors (over age 60) and for military and students, $10 for children 12 and under. Tickets are available for the planned productions of July 17-20 and July 24-27.
Curtain time is at 8 p.m. for Thursday, Friday and Saturday performances and 7 p.m. for Sunday. Guests are welcome to use Westminster’s beautiful park for a picnic supper preceding the performance. Westminster is conveniently located at the corner of Talbot and Cañon Streets in Point Loma. Contact the box office at (619) 224-6263 or visit www.Vanguardsd.org for more information.
