FOUNTAIN HILLS COMMUNITY THEATER IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE
THE ADDITION OF ‘GIVE WHAT YOU CAN NIGHT’ AT THE THEATER
WHAT: GIVE WHAT YOU CAN NIGHT
WHEN: September 26th at 2PM
WHERE: Fountain Hills Community Theater 11445 N Saguaro Blvd., Fountain Hills, AZ 85268
HOW: No reservations required. Seating on a first-come, first-served basis. Lobby opens one hour prior to performance, seating begins 30 minutes prior to curtain.
PRICE: Pay what you can afford performances.
Fountain Hills Community Theater is proud to announce the addition of ‘Give What You Can’ nights at the theater. Recognizing the difficult economic times the valley is facing, Fountain Hills Community Theater has chosen to offer a ‘give what you can afford’ performance. The theater has scheduled one additional matinee performance during the run of its upcoming production of “The Sound of Music” to audience members who might be stretching their dollars, but would enjoy attending a performance at the theater.
Artistic Director Peter J. Hill says: “We know things are tough financially, and everyone is making sacrifices. At the theater we feel it is important that people should not be required to cut the arts from their lives.”
Everyone involved in the productions, from actors to musicians to crew, is offering their services and talents for free to make this special performance possible.
Hill said: “It is a pay what you can afford night. If an audience member can afford nothing, they can join us for free and we will be delighted to have them. Of course, if someone can afford $200.00 and values what we’re doing, I’m kinda hopin’ they might join us too! We’re just relying on the community itself not to abuse the situation and allow those who would most benefit from these tickets to have them.”
Hill expressed his deepest thanks to the faithful Fountain Hills Season Ticket holders and Single Ticket patrons for continuing to support the theater and making this kind of generosity possible.
The first ‘Give What You Can’ performance will be a matinee of The Sound of Music on Saturday, Sept. 26th at 2:00pm. Seating is limited and advance reservations are required – pay “what you can afford” at the door.

Fountain Hills Community Theater is proud to announce the opening of the musical The Sound Of Music.
The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein, The Sound of Music was destined to become the world's most beloved musical. When Maria, a postulant, proves too high-spirited for the religious life, she is dispatched to serve as governess for the seven children of a widowed naval Captain. Her growing rapport with the youngsters, coupled with her generosity of spirit, gradually captures the heart of the stern Captain, and they marry. Upon returning from their honeymoon they discover that Austria has been invaded by the Nazis, who demand the Captain's immediate service in their navy. The family's narrow escape over the mountains to Switzerland on the eve of World War II provides one of the most thrilling and inspirational finales ever presented in the theatre. The motion picture version remains the most popular movie musical of all time. The score includes "Do Re Mi," "Edelweiss," "My Favorite Things," and the title tune. With Mary Martin heading the cast, The Sound of Music won the Tony for Best Musical (in a rare tie vote with Fiorello).
The Sound of Music is produced by Steve Mancarella and directed by Peter J. Hill. Choreography by Noel Irick and Musical Direction by Flora Mogerman.
The Sound of Music will play Sept. 18 through Oct. 4, 2009. Performances are Thursdays, Friday and Saturdays at 8:00 P.M. and Sunday at 2:00 P.M. Opening night will feature appetizers, wine and soft drinks for all those attending that evening. Individual tickets are $25.00 for Adults and $20.00 for children 17 and under.
