Musical Audition Information
Show scheduled for May 2020!
A tuneful, heartwarming musical, based on the real life story of the Von Trapp Family singers, one of the world's best-known concert groups in the era immediately preceding World War II. Maria is a tomboyish postulant at an Austrian abbey who becomes a governess in the home of a widowed naval captain with seven children, and brings a new love of life and music into the home.
We hope you will join us for another Pickwick adventure!

Rehearsal Information
The show will begin rehearsals at the beginning of March and will run up to the performance in mid-May. The rehearsal schedule is not drafted until the show is cast, so that we may work around the conflicts of those in the show. For large parts, those cast will have two to three rehearsals each week in the evenings and on some Saturdays. Rehearsals will take place at various libraries throughout Loudoun County, in churches, and sometimes in directors' homes. For small parts, people can expect 1 -2 rehearsals each week.
