PJC Alive with "Sound of Music"
The Pensacola Junior College Lyceum Series presents “The Sound of Music” for two weekends and singer Elisabeth von Trapp for a separate mid-week concert.
“The Sound of Music” runs 7:30 p.m. Nov. 13-14 and Nov. 19-21, and 2:30p.m. Nov. 15 and 22, at the Ashmore Fine Arts Auditorium, Building 8, on the Pensacola campus.
Elisabeth von Trapp performs 7:30 p.m. Nov. 18 at the Ashmore.
The Tony Award-winning musical starts with Maria – a sweet young postulant whose love of freedom makes it obvious to her superiors that she is not suited for convent life. Thus, she is sent off to be the governess to Captain von Trapp’s seven troublesome children. Due to their mutual love of music, Maria becomes friends with the children. Even the strict Captain begins to admire her and an adventure ensues.
Born and raised in Vermont, Elisabeth von Trapp is the granddaughter of the legendary Maria and Baron von Trapp, whose story inspired “The Sound of Music.” Singing professionally since childhood, Elisabeth has enthralled audiences from European cathedrals to Washington D.C.’s Kennedy Center. Inspired by her father Werner von Trapp’s guitar playing and singing, Elisabeth has carried on the legacy of the internationally renowned Trapp Family Singers.
The musical and concert are separate. Tickets for each are $10, reserved admission; $8, seniors, children, non-PJC students; $6, Senior Club members, PJC staff/faculty/retirees; free, PJC students. VISA, MasterCard, American Express, cash or check are accepted.
Purchase tickets at the Lyceum Box Office in the Ashmore Fine Arts Center, 1000 College Blvd.
