Wood Dale, IL. May 14, 2012 — Are you looking for an afternoon or evening of professional theater this summer? Well, look no further! For the ninth year, Stage Right Productions and The Church of the Holy Ghost Council of Catholic Women are partnering to put on a fundraising summer play. This year’s play will be Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music and it is sure to be a favorite! The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to become the world’s most beloved musical. When a postulant proves too high spirited for the religious life, she is dispatched to serve as governess for the seven children of a widowed naval Captain. Her growing rapport with the children, coupled with her generosity of spirit, gradually captures the heart of the stern Captain and they marry. Upon returning from their honeymoon they discover that Austria has been invaded by the Nazis, who demand the Captain’s immediate service in their navy. The family’s attempt to escape on the eve of World War II provides one of the most thrilling and inspirational finales ever presented in the theatre. Parishioner Peter Verdico is using his Stage Right Production expertise to put together this Broadway show. Verdico of Wood Dale founded Stage Right Productions and operated a dinner theater and banquet hall in Wood Dale for many years. The show will run July 27, 28, 29 and August 3, 4, 5. (Friday and Saturday Performances begin at 8 p.m. with matinees on Sunday at 2 p.m.) The performances will be held at the Center for the Performing Arts, Wood Dale Junior High School, 655 N. Wood Dale Road, Wood Dale IL 60191. Tickets are $20. Please call 630-860-2975 for tickets and information.
