family guide

The story is one of courage, the power of music and love, and the restoration of faith. It's a heart-warming tale of family values that appeals to people of all ages. Rodgers and Hammerstein’s most beloved show is full of wonderful and familiar songs.

However, 1938 was a scary time in Europe. This very real and factually based story of the Nazi occupation of Austria permeates Act II. Actors dressed as Nazi soldiers appear, armed, at the concert scene and in the dark scene that follows as they search for the hiding Von Trapp family in the Abbey. This, and the music and sound effects played for a short stint, could be scary to young children.

No infants or children under 5 admitted.
