‘Sound Os Music’ At Playhouse:
Season Opener Is Hit!
BY BONNIE EASLEY
Playhouse Correspondent
Parkway Playhouse has
scored another hit with its
season opener, The Sound of
Music, which opened on the
stage of the Burnsville theatre
last night and runs through
Saturday night, July 5.
Curtain time is 8:30 p.m. The
beautiful red barn theatre is
known for its hits and fine
reputation so it is no surprise
that this show is so delightful
and easy to watch and listen
to.
Directed by John Joy, The
Sound of Music takes place in
Austria in 1938 and is the
musical story of Captain von
Trapp who falls in love with a

novice nun who has been sent
to take care of his seven
'children, von Trapp is ably
portrayed by Doug Preis, who
will be remembered for his
excellent role as Henry
Higgins in last year’s My Fair
Lady. The novice nun, Maria,
is played by Kris Anderson
and her voice is solid and sure
as she runs through her score.
The seven children are
delightful and are played by
Kim Hanabergh, Jeff Hall,
Deirdre Parker, David Cald
well, Heidi Lancaster, Jenni
fer Woods and Amy Maria
Young. W.C. Fields once
commented that, lest an actor
find himself overshadowed,
he should never play a scene
of 1976. Mayiand Technical Institute had 567 students enrolled
in the spring quarter recently completed. Pictured above with
shovel in hand are [left to right] Hazen Ledford, Boyd Deyton,
Mark Bennett, and James Fox, members of the Board of
Trustees of Mayiand Technical Institute.
with a child or an animal. That
commentary would be quite
true in this case. The seven
children in this cast are quite
professional in their stage
demeanor and pleasant to
watch on stage.
One single performance
that deserves recognition as
being outstanding is that of
Valerie Coyne who portrays
the Mother Abbess and whose
“Climb Every Mountain” is
nothing short of beautiful.
She will be remembered for
Abagail Adams, another
singing role that she did in
another Parkway hit, 1776,
and also for her role in Life
With Father. Miss Coyne is
very professional and her

she effortlessly goes through
her songs. ,
Others featured ih this ,
bright and breezy bit of
entertainment are Gayle Stahl
as Elsa Schraeder, Phil Hafer
as Max Detweiler, Brian
McPherson as Rolf and Sara
Stuart as Frau Schmidt. All
are newcomers to the Park
way stage. The accompani
ment is provided by two
pianists and the musical score
is ably conducted by Charlie
Boone.
The audience gratefully
applauded this hit that con
