What makes this especially interesting is that one of our new posters, GreenEyes, is currently playing Maria in her community theater production of _The Sound of Music_. ---

Under the bed? Heck! I’m gonna go put on my lederhosen and start brushing up on “Edelweiss” right now! * * * …and then I woke up. ---

Um… I think I’ll just avoid that. If I want to sing along with it I’ll watch the video and sing myself without the need for subtitles. Besides I can already sing Edelweiss just fine. ---

Well, the jist of the article was that in some city \ there is a production of The Sound of Music going on where people can come dressed up like their favorite characters. I can’t remember if they show the movie, or if there is an actual live stage production of it going on… regardess…they then act out the scene just like one would do if seeing Rocky Horror Picture Show. Very unique and probably alot of fun 🙂 Had I known about this I would have suggested this to my director months ago. It would be a hoot to do closing night… or maybe even for a charity event. ---

Heck, I was actually in _The Sound of Music_ in eighth grade. You think they’ll let me go as Admiral von Schreiber? (largest non-singing part in the play, not even in the movie)
