Tahoe Arts had become the Nevada Civic Light Opera and their first show was The Sound of Music in the fall of 2004. They asked me to do the vocal direction and also play the role of Max Detweiler, a great character part. It was fun playing opposite of Cindy Sabatini as the Baroness. Suzie Tagayev was also able to persuade Charmian Carr, Liesl in the movie and also Brian Farnon's daughter, to join us for a gala fundraiser. We got to meet her afterwards and chat for a while.
We got great publicity for the show probably because Charmian was making an appearance.
Suzie then persuaded Caesar's Tahoe to take on the show and after about a month we opened up there in November.
We also got nice review from Ira Townsley in the Action.
I found these pictures on Suzie Tagayev's Facebook page.
These two were of Max and the children rehearsing and playing.
