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, please

of twelve.  
This is the first time the Players are using the Salt Box Ministries, which 
 is associated with St. John’s Lutheran Church, 336 West Market Street, 
Canal  Fulton, Ohio. We would like to thank Pastor Nicodemus, Debbie Messner 
and the  rest of the church for their cooperation in this matter. We would 
also like to  thank the United Methodist Church for their cooperation in this  
production
