Abbotsford’s Gallery 7 Theatre producing beloved production “The Sound of Music”
ABBOTSFORD — The hills through the Fraser Valley will come alive with the unmistakable melodies of “The Sound of Music,” as Gallery 7 Theatre presents the beloved family-favorite musical later this month in Abbotsford. Featuring a cast of nearly 30 performers from across the region and a live orchestra, those behind the production promise a captivating experience for audiences of all ages.
“We’re very excited to be presenting this beloved musical,” said Ken Hildebrandt, Executive/Artistic Director of Gallery 7 Theatre and the director of the production. “We’ve worked hard to honour what so many love and cherish about the show while mining some of the deeper themes about discovering one’s place in the world, standing up for what’s right, being true to self and your values, finding healing, and growing up in challenging times.”

Set against the backdrop of the Austrian Alps amid growing tensions in Europe, “The Sound of Music” follows the story of Maria, a young nun commissioned to serve as the governess to the children of the autocratic Captain von Trapp. As Maria brings music and joy to the household, she gains the respect of the children and captures the heart of the strict Captain.
