The Stansbury High School Drama department, led by Mr. Glen
Carpenter, is currently performing The Sound of Music, which had performances May 4, and 5 and will continue to have performances May 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 15.

All days will have performances beginning at 7:30 p.m. and there will be two performances on the 12th, including a matinee at 2:00 p.m.

The Sound of Music was adapted from the memoir The Story of The Trapp Family Singers by Maria von Trapp and was made into a stage play in 1959 then later into a movie in 1965, starring Julie Andrews.

The plot of The Sound of Music follows the adventures of Maria who first plans on becoming a nun, but after becoming the governess of the von Trapp family, a large brood of children, and then falling in love with them, and with their widowed father, she changes her plans. Shortly after their wedding however, the family's plans are further changed when Nazis invade their beloved Austria and want to recruit Mr. von Trapp into their navy. He doesn't agree with Nazi philosophies, and so what is the family to do?

I attended the opening performance of The Sound of Music, and it was wonderfully done. Everyone in the cast and crew did a fantastic job with the performance, and I highly recommend it!

Mrs. Mona Farnsworth who taught Drama at Duchesne High School before she retired had nothing but praise for Mr. Glen Carpenter, having gotten to know him when she and he were on a board together quite a few years ago. By watching the plays he has directed, I can see why. I think it is fantastic that he is helping young people hone their skills and build confidence in their abilities and in themselves through drama!
