SUMMARY:The Sound of Music
DESCRIPTION:Join us for one of the most beloved musicals of all time. Directed by Robert Wise\, The Sound of Music is a sweeping\, heartfelt\, and enduring celebration of family\, resilience\, and the transformative power of song. The story follows Maria\, a spirited young woman sent to serve as governess to the seven children of the widowed Captain von Trapp. Through music\, kindness\, and a little bit of rebellion\, she brings warmth and joy back into their regimented household — even as the shadow of war begins to fall over Austria. From “Do-Re-Mi” to “My Favorite Things” and “Climb Ev’ry Mountain\,” this iconic Hollywood classic continues to inspire audiences across generations. Whether you’re revisiting it or experiencing it for the first time\, this is a film that fills the theatre — and your heart. \nEvent Details:\nLobby Doors: Open at 5:30 PM\nFeature Film Screening: 7:00 PM\nFood: Come early and grab dinner in the lobby! Uncle Fatih’s Pizza will be serving up their signature slices — made from healthy\, freshly prepared dough and rustic\, never-frozen ingredients. Expect veggie-forward\, big-energy pizza your taste buds won’t forget.\nBar Feature: The Edelweiss Mule is a floral\, elevated twist on the traditional mule — blending vodka\, elderflower liqueur\, fresh lime\, and crisp ginger beer for a drink that’s bright\, refreshing\, and just a little bit enchanting.\nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMMgcAqOYbI \nBring your family. Bring your friends. And get ready to sing along. \nThe GRAND uses closed captions for accessibility purposes. Thank you for your consideration and understanding!
