This immersive setup is a one-of-a-kind theatrical event creating a unique, engaging experience that redefines what outdoor immersive theater can be.

The Sound of Music tells the heartwarming story of Maria, a spirited young postulant in 1930s Austria who struggles to conform to the rules of Nonnberg Abbey. Sent to be the governess for the seven children of the widowed Captain Georg von Trapp, Maria brings music, joy, and love back into a house ruled by strict discipline. As Maria wins over the children—and eventually the Captain—romance blossoms. But as the Nazi threat looms over Austria, the von Trapp family must summon the courage to flee their homeland, using their unity and music as strength.
The production was chosen not only for its sweeping score and enduring story, but for its timeless theme of unity, resilience, family, and standing up to injustice.
