The hills are alive with…

Cast and crew from the 2012 Community Musical — The Sound of Music — gathered in the foyer of the new high school Monday evening to get the low-down on the show from producer Alan Chell (top, centre in the dark athletic jacket) and artistic director Anita Hallewas (in the wine-coloured dress at the other end of the back table from Alan). They're facing months of heavy rehearsing and are encouraged to practice their lines and music as often as possible. Towards that end they received CDs of a stage version of the musical and copies of the script. The elaborate production is made possible, in part, through a donation of $5,000 from the Revelstoke Credit Union to purchase the rights to perform it. David F. Rooney photo
