The decisions the Captain makes are not nearly as clear cut. The waters tend to be a little muddy—Elsa is not disliked by the children and Max Joan Fretz is not disliked by the Nazis. The Captain breaks up with the Baroness not for his children but For being my mentor, my protector, my confessor & most of all my friend for political reasons, only to find love in the arms of the novice who served as governess to I’ll miss you . . . his children. Love is portrayed in different forms: Rolf & Liesl, the innocence of first love that and to those I forgot ends unhappily—The Captain & the Baroness, a brokered love between two wealthy people (I apologize in advance) who cannot see eye to eye as the approaches—Max & money, on nobody’s side but his own, living off the rich and not afraid to play ball with the new regime—Maria & the – Schwendy Captain, a young woman who teaches a man who has become bitter at the loss of his wife (who fears his children for they are reminders of that lost love) to let love enter his heart ...... more—and finally, the von Trapp children and their new found family, a new mother who understood them at first blush and a father who reclaims their hearts. They truly are The Sound of Music is produced with the permission of “no ordinary couple” and are to be admired for their savvy, their gumption, and the courage to face the Germans and the world together. What choices might we have made were we in the same position . . . something to think about. 601 West 26th Street • Suite 312 • New York, NY 10001 www.rnh.com Enjoy the show!!

The number alone is daunting—20—most clubs could not survive such a loss. 20 seniors—some stalwarts that have been with me for the last four years and some newbies that joined our merry band for one show. High school is about moving on—what this group has taught me I will hold dear —my only hope is that I might have taught them something as well. They learned at the knee of my first four year class, it was then, as freshman, our club became a family. You didn’t always get what you wanted—you never complained. When you did get what you wanted—you never gloated. You took what was yours and made it your own. You took principal characters and made them unforgettable—you took character roles and made them “sing,” you took chorus roles and filled the stage with joy.
