The familiar story revolves around Maria Rainer (portrayed by Sandra Polakowski) and her quest for her place in life. Since the convent doesn’t seem to be a good fit for her, Mother Abbess (played by Natalie Zember), suggests that she take a position as a governess for Captain Georg von Trapp’s (Matt Clarey) seven children: Liesl (Lexie Peterson), Friederich (Eli Haas), Louisa (Karina Polacek & Lydia DeFatte), Kurt (Brandon Robakowski & Eric Effinger), Brigitta (Aimee Galaszewski & Caitlyn Wiorek), Marta (Ariana Petersen & Brittany Munoz), and Gretl (Leslie Murawski & Katherine Beaudot). When Maria arrives, she finds a group of children who love their father deeply, and who miss him as he is away on his military assignments, but who are not very happy. With Maria, the children rekindle their love of music, which their father has banned since the death of their mother. Upon his return, Captain von Trapp, who has brought along his fiancée, Elsa Schroeder (Samantha Gager), is not happy to hear his children singing, but his friend, Max Detweiler (Joe McNutt) loves what he hears and plans on entering them into a singing competition. As time passes, the captain and Maria fall in love and get married, but the happiness doesn’t last very long. Right before the big competition, Captain von Trapp’s military expertise is needed by the Nazis. Although Liesl’s boyfriend, Rolf (Kyle Martindale), is eager to sign up to serve the Nazis, Captain von Trapp is not as certain about his future. Will he choose his family, or will he choose the military?

With about 100 Greenfield School District students involved, this is one of the largest musicals to be performed at Greenfield High School. This is sure to be a show for the entire community to enjoy.
