Twenty-seven ago, classmates from Flint, Michigan's Flint Central High School performed Rodgers and Hammerstein's "The Sound of Music." Now, the cast reunites and teams up with a trio of Broadway professionals to perform the show one last time. We meet angel-voiced Michelle (Maria), who once had Broadway aspirations but now works as an Emergency Room nurse; Jacob (Captain Von Trapp) who left Flint Central and the theater department that once meant so much to him to join the army and to raise a family; Kristy (The Mother Abbess) the choir director's daughter who is now a successful businesswoman and stopped singing years ago; and Sam (Friedrich) a father and a grandfather who has survived life-threatening illness to fight his way back to a good life. Set against the backdrop of Flint -- a city that has struggled with hardship – this diverse cast, made up of DJs, paralegals, professional actors, and those who haven't performed in decades -- comes together to sing and dance, but also to measure the distance between who they were then and who they are now. They’ll reconnect, make peace, and finally pull themselves together in a mere five days to put on the show of their lives. Some flashing lights sequences or patterns may affect photosensitive viewers.
