The Sound of Music Opens  June 23 
 

On June 23, 2011, the Rodgers  and Hammerstein musical, The Sound of Music, 
will open at the Salt Box  Ministries, 408 West Market Street, Canal 
Fulton, Ohio.  This wonderful  play about the Von Trapp Family Singers, who fled 
Austria at the time of the  German takeover in 1938, will be presented on 
four nights beginning on June 23  and ending on June 26.  All performances will 
be at 7:30 pm.   Matt King, with the aid of his music director, Jackie 
Piatt, is directing  this play, which will be presented in two acts.  
Starring as  Maria, the independent and impish novice at the convent in 
Strasburg, Austria,  is Christine Gingrich. She last appeared as Hero in Much 
Ado About Nothing,  which was presented on the St. Helena III last summer.  
Captain Georg Von  Trapp will be played by newcomer Tom Majercik. That is 
newcomer to the Canal  Fulton stage.  Tom has an extensive background in acting 
and singing  throughout the entire Northeast Ohio area.  
Uncle Max, the man  who forms and promotes the Von Trapp Family Singers, 
will be played by Bob  Boston, who was last seen as Cervantes and Don Quixote 
in Man of La Mancha. The  Baroness, the Captain’s first love, is played by 
Faith King, who is making her  debut on the Canal Fulton Stage. The Mother 
Abbess will be portrayed by Theresa  Graves, who is best remembered for her 
portrayal of Bubbie in Crossing Delancey.  Rolf, the boy who loves Liesel, the 
oldest Von Trapp daughter, but is drawn into  the poison of Nazism, is 
played by Jonathan Neumann. Jon was last seen playing  Dad in Caught in the Net. 
 Ben Currans plays the evil Herr Zeller. Hunter  Rapp plays Ursula.  
Jeffrey Watkins appears as Admiral Von  Schreiber.
The Von Trapp children are played by Amiee Jarzenski  (Liesel), Bryan 
Steffee (Freidrich), Kristina Currans (Louisa), Kenidee Zentiska  (Brigitta), 
Samuel Darrin (Curt), Emma Peak (Marta), and Nadia Jakuszewski  (Gretl). 
The members of the convent are portrayed by Nichon  Jakuszewski (Sister 
Berthe), Olivia Durell (Sister Sophia), Jennifer Desberg  (Sister Margaretta), 
Lauren Stover, Emma Canfield, Brittney Jarzenski, Jennifer  Mandalinich, and 
Lauren Smith. 
Other members of the cast are Marie  Peak (Frau Schmidt) and Janel Darrin 
(Baroness Elberfeld).  
Reservations are a must as seating for the play is limited to 200  seats 
per performance.  Matinees are being considered.  To make a  reservation,

This is the first  time the Players are using the Salt Box Ministries,
