One Happy Family Convents. Church bells. Weddings. Nuns. Singing. Sounds like Divine Child, right? Wrong. These are just a few of the scenes from DC’s spring musical, “The Sound of Music.” Divine Child’s musicals are well-known for their excell- ence. This year proved to be no exception, as “The Sound of Music” was a smashing success, running for seven performances. The story begins with Ma- ria, (Carolyn Huebl) a young girl confused about herself and her future. The Mother Superior, played by senior Colleen Meade, sends Maria off to care for the Von Trapp children, in hopes that Maria will discover her true voca- tion. The Captain, (Jeff Flan- nery) anad Elsa (Tina Gru- chala) return home from a va- cation with good friend Max Detweiller (Jeff Pegg). The Captain and Elsa later realize that their feelings for each other have changed, and Elsa leaves. Meanwhile, Maria is con- fused about her feelings for the Captain. She escapes to the abbey, but soon returns to the Von Trapp home because she knows she must confront her feelings. The children and the Cap- tain give Maria a warm wel- come home. Maria and the Captain decide to marry. When they return from their honeymoom, they find that the Nazis are after them. The Von Trapp family par- ticipates in a talent contest to throw the Nazis off the track. Before the family can receive their first place award, they escape to the abbey. After suc- cessfully dodging the Nazis, the family leaves the abbey, take to the hills, and live hap- pily ever after. The cast and the crew did an excellent job of making this story come alive. It fea- tured many famous songs, like “Sixteen Going On Sev- enteen” and some very well- choreographed dancing. It was indeed one of the best musicals ever put on by Di- vine Child. By:C.McNulty The Captain and Elsa discuss their future plans together. Unfortunately, their feelings changed and the relationship ended. The Von Trapp children bid good- night to guests at their father’s party. The guests were moved by their talented performance. Spring Musical 21
