ECCT's Sound of Music

Well, the State Theatre was sure alive with "The Sound of Music." What a fantastic run of shows. Friday, Saturday and Sunday all SOLD OUT and Thursday was about 3/4 full. And every show got a standing ovation. It was such an honor for Grace to be a part of this amazing cast. Thank you to all that were able to come support Grace with your attendance at this awesome production....we are so grateful.

Here are some comments I heard from people..........

"I can't believe how much talent we have in the EC area."

"The best production I have ever seen at the State."

"That women sure can sing."  [Referring to Kat Sherman]

"Amazing!"

"Loved it so much, we had to come and see it again."

"This production was the high quality of a touring Broadway show."

"Absolutely outstanding!!!"

"Kat was just as good as Julie Andrews!"

Here We Go Again....I hear the "Sound of Music"

We just got the news today…after TWO rounds of auditions for Sound of Music, Grace got the part of Brigitta von Trappe. (80 kids tried out for the seven von Trappe children roles.) This will be a very special play for Grace for a couple reasons. Grace’s Grandpa Pichler is 100% Austrian, so Grace has some Austrian blood running thru her veins….and the other reason is because her best friend, Madie Sherman, also got a part as Marta von Trappe….they get to play sisters and see each other every day at rehearsal. And there is more…Grace & Ben’s piano/voice teacher, Kat Sherman…got the part of Maria. If you are keeping track…yes, Kat is Madie’s mom and also a long time friend of ours.  Also…another Pichler family friend got the part of Max Detweiller, so it’s really special that Grace gets to be in a show with some very wonderful friends.

We have allowed Grace only two shows per ECCT season (which runs August-July.) This is her second and last show until she tries for any possible 11-12 year old girl roles next season.  Come check it out if you can. There will be only four shows.  Here’s the info….
