The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to become the world’s most beloved musical.

Featuring a trove of cherished songs, including “Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” “My Favorite Things,” “Do Re Mi,” “Sixteen Going on Seventeen” and the title number, The Sound of Music won the hearts of audiences worldwide, earning five Tony Awards and five Oscars.

The inspirational story, based on the memoir of Maria Augusta Trapp, follows an ebullient postulate who serves as governess to the seven children of the imperious Captain von Trapp, bringing music and joy to the household.

But as the forces of Nazism take hold of Austria, Maria and the entire von Trapp family must make a moral decision.

Twelfth Night

by William Shakespeare

Adapted and Directed by Cinda Goeken

A CWP Black Box Production

August 4th – 13th, 2023

Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. Sundays at 2 p.m.

One of the Bard’s most loved rom-coms, Twelfth Night is a riotous, guffaw-inspiring good time, featuring some of his best work in the mistaken identity department.

The play centers on the twins Viola and Sebastian, who are separated in a shipwreck. Viola (who is disguised as Cesario) falls in love with the Duke Orsino, who in turn is in love with Countess Olivia. Upon meeting Viola, Countess Olivia falls in love with her thinking she is a man. Is anyone who they seem?

Bold, comedic supporting characters add to the chaos and fun, ensuring an evening of love, laughter, and good old 1600s humor for all to enjoy!'

This is a comical story of deception, separation, mistaken identity, pranks, love and reuniting. It features such well-known characters as Viola, Sebastian, Orsino, Olivia, Maria, Malvolio, Sir Toby Belch and Sir Andrew Aguecheek.
