The musical follows the story of a young postulant named Maria.

Being too high-spirited for religious life, she is sent to serve as a governess for the seven children of Captain von Trapp. Maria develops a rapport with the children and even softens the heart of the stern captain.

Maria and the captain wed and upon returning from their honeymoon discover their beloved Austria has been invaded by the Nazis. To avoid serving in the Nazi navy, the family escapes over the mountains into Switzerland.

Elizabeth Stewart, a Moniteau High School alumna, is the director/producer.
