Sioux Center Arts is thrilled to present our 2024 summer community musical production: Roger and Hammerstein's beloved classic, "The Sound of Music". A story of hope in the face of rising horrors, this final collaboration between Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein II has become known and loved throughout the world. Maria, a free-spirited postulant, is sent to serve as a governess to seven motherless children. Using patience, kindness, and The Sound of Music, she ultimately wins the hearts of both the children and their father, but the family must soon make the unthinkable choice and flee their homeland. Featuring a treasure trove of cherished songs, this musical masterpiece promises an unforgettable journey.
