A young novice leaves her convent to become a governess for a widowed naval officer and his seven children, bringing music and joy into their lives amidst the backdrop of World War II. A tuneful, heartwarming story, based on the real-life von Trapp Family singers.

Very Merry Theatre performs at O.N.E. Community Center, 20 Allen St, Burlington, VT unless we note otherwise.
Parking is limited on Allen Street. There is ample parking in the rear lot off the North Street entrance. Do not park in the handicap spot without a valid Disabled Parking Placard displayed or you will be towed.
Patrons may wait in line inside the Community Center. The auditorium doors open 15 minutes before starting time.
We lock the main building entrance 30 minutes after the performance starts. If you arrive late and the doors are locked, text--do not call--the number posted on the door. Someone will be out to assist you.
Use the ground floor entrance to the left of the main staircase. There is a low-engery door opener on a post to the right of the entrance.
Take the elevator up to the second floor. The entrance to the main hallway will be on your right as you exit the elevator. There’s also an accessible restroom opposite the elevator as you exit.
Please let a front-of-house volunteer know how we may assist you with seating or anything else.
