Music Theatre Workshop does must be doing something right The workshop presented The Sound of Musicthe second production of its twoyear history at Georgian ollege Theatre Fri day and Saturday attracting full hoiises for each per formaiice The workshop is run by music teachers in the county with the aim of giving local teachers ex perieiice in presenting musical theatre the workshops objecr lives may be educatorial but the results of their work were two evenings of good entertain nient Its difficult to go wrong with musical as wellwritten as The Sound of Musicr Rodgers and Hammerstein couldnt write mediocre song if their lives depended on it and while the sentimental plot of the play is beginning to show the passage of time since The Sound of Music first made its debut on the stage the music is as fresh and appealing as ever The workshop production benefited from two strengths excellent casting and strong direction front Thelma tockburii the director and Barbara Mctann the producer and musical director Working with largely inexperienced cast these two directors shaped long tclosc to three holltS and demanding play into good amateur production Most amateur musical pro luctioiis suffer from inconsis tent singing and sloppy pacing hilt The Sound of Music avoided these pitfalls The lead per formers tn the play while not all strong singers did handle the musical numbers with style and control and the pacing of the play kept the on stage ac tion moving quickly Ftilli ll IS Saturday nights per torniance of the play featured lane ampbell as Marie Mike liiinpliy

Viennese widow whose plans to marry You Trapp change drastically when the ierinans invade Austria Marie Miss ampbell was also well suited to the role She had very appealing anti wholesome manner that con vcycd the innocence and bones of Maria without masking the strength that underlies her character Miss ampbell had the most demanding role in the play and some if the best musical numbers and she handled it well Although her uvriv ieiii Capt Von Trapp Mike Dunphy and Maria Jane Campbell In scene from the Teachers Music Theatre Workshop production of The Sound of Music Examiner Photo llltlc

ticiilarly iii slow number like Edelweiss laii Mcturdy made Ma letweiler into one of the fun niest characters in the play showing flair for comedy and exaggeration that contrasted well with the more subdued Krformanccs by the other members of the cast Mctui dys weak singing was the only drawback to an otherwise strong performance ENSEMBLE NlMIiIZIIS Amateur productions usually shine in the
