The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to become the world’s most beloved musical. Featuring a trove of cherished songs, including “Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” “My Favorite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi,” “Sixteen Going on Seventeen” and the title number, The Sound of Music won the hearts of audiences worldwide, earning five Tony Awards and five Oscars. The inspirational story, based on the memoir of Maria Augusta Trapp, follows an ebullient postulate who serves as governess to the seven children of the imperious Captain von Trapp, bringing music and joy to the household. But as the forces of Nazism take hold of Austria, Maria and the entire von Trapp family must make a moral decision.

The Hillsboro High School Performing Arts produces a fall play, a musical, a Christmas Variety show, a fundraiser, HHS on Broadway, and a Pee Wee Drama Camp every year.  The Drama Club is a member of the National Thespian Society and meets once a month.  Our objective is to provide students at Hillsboro City Schools as well as community members a wide variety of theatre. Some productions are meant to educate and inform and are directed towards a more mature audience while other productions are simply for entertainment and can be enjoyed by patrons of all ages.  We hope you enjoy the theatre as much as we do!
