One of the most beloved musicals of all time! Set in Austria in 1938, an exuberant young governess brings music and joy back to a broken family, only to face danger and intrigue as the Nazis gain power. Featuring a trove of cherished songs, including “Edelweiss,” "Climb Ev'ry Mountain," "My Favorite Things," and the title number, The Sound of Music won the hearts of audiences worldwide, earning five Tony Awards and five Oscars.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Statement
The Little Theatre of Winston-Salem is a community driven arts organization. As such, we see the true value and the critical role that diversity serves in helping our theatre and community thrive. Going forward, we are determined to foster an environment that respects and promotes the value of diversity. The Little Theatre of Winston-Salem believes in the transformative power of the arts to enrich lives and revitalize communities. We are committed to sustaining a diverse, inclusive, and equitable space where everyone who participates in our programming — patrons, artists, employees, volunteers, and students — feels valued and respected regardless of gender, age, race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, education, or ability.
While this is not an end-all statement and will constantly evolve as we and our organization (continues to) learn and grow, this is a starting point for forming actions that will encourage equity and make an impact.
Commitment (some in place some and some in the process):
-
Evaluating all scripts with considerations towards inclusion and diversity within the season.
-
Increasing camp accessibility by providing scholarships to those in need of financial assistance.
-
Creating an equitable internship that includes compensation.
-
Seeking the recruitment, retention, and support of Black and Indigenous artists and teachers of Color.
-
Seeking opportunities to provide resources for students and their families to attend shows.
-
Working with individual directors to strive for diverse casts and design teams.
-
Ensuring that all directors have casting and dramaturgical resources available to them to protect and support the cultural specificity required of the work.
