The Bitterroot mountains will ring with song when the Corvallis High School Performing Arts Department presents "The Sound of Music," April 7, 8 and 9.
The group has been looking forward to the return of live theater for two years after the COVID-19 pandemic shut down Montana schools the week before the club had the chance to perform their previous musical.
Director Doug McConnaha and Musical Director Heidi Schnarr decided that the classic story of the von Trapp family’s escape from Austria at the start of WWII would be an uplifting start to the return of live performance.
“The show has been an audience favorite for decades,” McConnaha said. “The students have been asking us since school started last fall if we were going to do a musical this year and we felt that this show would be perfect.”
