Set in pre-World War II Austria, a postulant (Mary Rose Vadeboncouer/Morgan Ingraham) proves too high-spirited for life at the abbey and is dispatched by Mother Abbess (Leanna Neely) to serve as governess for the seven children of a widowed naval captain (Jackson Shaffer). Her growing rapport with the youngsters, coupled with her generosity of spirit 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. “Climb Every Mountain…till you find your dream”.
