ROCKWALL, TX (July 30, 2022) Back in 2011, Rockwall Summer Musicals launched into the Rockwall County arts scene with their productions of The Sound of Music and Oklahoma! In honor of this tenth anniversary, they will once again present Rodgers and Hammerstein’s classic musical The Sound of Music directed by Barbara Doudt. Barbara is a founding member of Rockwall Summer Musicals, and this will be the 12th show she has directed.

The Sound of Music is based on the life of 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. You may find yourself humming along to many of the musical’s classic songs, including “My Favorite Things”, “Edelweiss”, “Do-Re-Mi”, and of course, “The Sound of Music”.
