Featuring many cherished songs including “Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” “My Favorite Things,” “Do Re Mi,” “Sixteen Going on Seventeen,” and the title number, “The Sound of Music” won the hearts of audiences worldwide, earning five Tony Awards and five Oscars.

“After being on hold for two years due to the pandemic, the cast and crew are thrilled to bring this treasured musical to Greensboro audiences this summer. The performers are from all walks of life and theatrical experiences, which has made our collaborative process even more fulfilling,” said Sound of Music Director Todd Fisher.

The program emphasizes process over product and provides experiential learning while showcasing quality productions in a fun environment.
“The security and support Creative Greensboro has provided to me through the years has been like nothing else,” said cast member Arden Quagliano. “Playing Liesl has always been a fantasy of mine.
