The stage is alive with the sound of music

Yodeling echoed through the halls of Franklin High School Monday night. No it wasn't the folks hollering about masks or CRT at a school board meeting, It was the talented Grace Turk singing ""he Lonely Goatherd" song during dress rehearsal for the upcoming combined Franklin and Rocky Grove high school production  "The Sound of Music."  Turk is playing Maria Rainer, the part made famous by Julie Andrews in the classic movie about the Von Trapp family's escape from Nazi occupied Austria into Switzerland. Though many virtues were taken with the adaptation, it is a classic hero's tale of standing up for what is right on many levels.

On Monday, the Franklin production was ironing out early kinks to be ready to open on Thursday at 7 p.m. in Franklin's auditorium. The show runs three nights - Thursday, Friday and Saturday with all performances starting at 7 p.m.

​The show features a live orchestra, the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic songs, terrific performances by Turk and others including a very sweet Gretl who falls asleep on the steps during the "So Long, Farewell" scene, and great wardrobe.

These school shows benefit the theater and music programs allowing them to give the students a more rounded education experience as well as give back to the community. Doors open

Below are more photos from their first dress rehearsal.
