Washington Post - Recommended

"...I have mixed feelings about the old-fashioned painted scenery of Douglas W. Schmidt's set, but not about Jane Greenwood's flavorful period costumes. The rest of the ingredients add up, from Merwin Foard's squishy dinner guest-impresario-Nazi accommodationist Max Detweiler to Melody Betts's suitably anthemic rendition of "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" and the sensitive playing by the orchestra. It's not a put-it-in-the-pantheon "Sound of Music," but fans and newcomers alike should find themselves settling in comfortably with this patient, confident show."

"...Merwin Foard steals his scenes as Max Detweiler, a charming Austrian who will collaborate with the Nazi invaders if that's what it takes to survive, and Teri Hansen makes Elsa Schraeder less an antagonist to Maria and more a woman whose goals ultimately don't match those of the von Trapp family. The children are adorable."

MD Theatre Guide - Highly Recommended

"...An amazing cast tackles this classic musical to bring an enchanting and enjoyable performance loaded with enthusiasm and charm."

"...But all in all, it makes a great introduction to a big American musical where one can sing along (quietly in your head, please, out of consideration to those around you) and become carried away by this most pleasing work of the great Rodgers and Hammerstein."

"...I warned you this was a rave. No all you need to do is get your tickets before the von Trapps head across the Alps."

"...The lovely choreography by Danny Mefford complemented the show. The dance scene between Captain von Trapp and Maria cemented their relationship and is key to the show. When Liesl dances with Rolf, he beautifully and romantically swings her through the air which is breathtaking to watch."
