"The Sound of Music" Revisits the Lofte
The last time the Lofte Community Theatre performed Rogers' and Hammerstein's "The Sound of Music," gasoline was around $1.50 a gallon. The year was 1985 and the "Born-in-a-Barn Players" were still housed in a converted barn free from amenities like air conditioning and running water.
After a twenty-three year hiatus, Director Kevin Colbert was ready to revisit the world's most beloved musical. "I'm really excited about making this version an even bigger production than what we were able to provide last time," said Mr. Colbert. Indeed, the Lofte's new performance space offers the cast and crew wing space, dressing rooms, and a stage twice as large as the one at the old Lofte. Plenty of room to allow for grander sets and added depth to make the audience really feel as if they were transported to the Austrian Alps.
The story behind "The Sound of Music," is loosely based upon the book, "The Story of the Trapp Family Singers," written by Maria von Trapp and published in 1949. The Rogers and Hammerstein stage version tells a romanticized and shortened story where Maria (serving as a governess) and the Captain fall in love during the days just prior to Hitler's anschluss of Austria in 1938. The version as told by Maria von Trapp in her book states that the two actually married in 1927, several years before Hitler's rise to power. There were also 10 von Trapp children instead of just 7 as portrayed in the movie, and together, Maria and Georg had 3 of their own.
Principal actors in the Lofte's production include Jenniger Gilg of Omaha as Maria, Greg Leger of Omaha as the Captain, Janet Sorensen of Elmwood as Mother Abbess and Samantha Colbert of Weeping Water as Liesl. Other members of the cast include Brenda Jones, Jordyn Marcoe, Kara Habrock and Maylea Bauers all of Louisville; Cynthia Sheldon, Jeff Johnston, Kabrianna Mumford, Tim Sorensen, Jill McLaughlin and Lizzy Pegler all of Elmwood; Eileen Moser, Kevin Colbert and Jean Colbert all of Weeping Water; Lucy Myrtue of Murray; and Katie Schmitt of Murdock
Performance dates are July 18-20, 24-27, 31, and August 1-3. Curtain times are at 7:30pm except for Sundays which are 2pm matinees. All tickets are $15 and reservations can be made by calling the Lofte box office at (402)234-2553 or visiting the Lofte website, www.Lofte.com. Several dates are very nearly sold out already so early reservations are strongly encouraged.
