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. <BR>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

throughout the entire Northeast Ohio area. <BR>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
