As the world begins to change, one woman brings something the von Trapp family hasn’t known in a long time—joy. When Maria steps into their lives, she brings laughter, music, and a renewed sense of connection—just as the world outside their home begins to shift in dangerous ways. In a time of rising fear and uncertainty, their bond becomes an anchor—and their courage, a quiet form of resistance. The Sound of Music is a timeless story of love, family, and standing up for what truly matters, brought to life with one of the most beloved scores in musical theatre history. Music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse. Run time: 2 hours and 45 minutes with a 15-minute intermission
Grace Community Food Pantry, 245 Education Way, Bunnell, drive-thru open today from noon to 3 p.m. The food pantry is organized by Pastor Charles Silano and Grace Community Food Pantry, a Disaster Relief Agency in Flagler County. Feeding Northeast Florida helps local children and families, seniors and active and retired military members who struggle to put food on the table. Working with local grocery stores, manufacturers, and farms we rescue high-quality food that would normally be wasted and transform it into meals for those in need. The Flagler County School District provides space for much of the food pantry storage and operations. Call 386-586-2653 to help, volunteer or donate.
Diary: It’s not his birthday or anything (he’d have only been in his 83rd year), and heaven knows I had my differences with him, but boy do I miss Jon Netts: his conversation, his patrician cool, his grounding, his humor. He could sometimes be conventionally conservative, but he knew how to synthesize any issue and he wasn’t monomaniacal about much. Extra points if you figure out who appears to be in Nett’s net. Hint: Jon is in a better place than the guy in the net, who is in Arkansas. Tis picture is from 2013, when then-Auditorium Director Lisa McDevitt, who died in 2019, was holding a fundraiser of sorts. Jon died two years later.

Nowadays, I see schoolkids bustling along the sidewalk, their large instrument cases strapped to them like diligent coffins, and I know their weight of obedience. Happy obedience, too: that cello or French horn brings lasting joy, and a repertoire more demanding and subtle than rock music’s. But fuck the laudable ideologies, as Roth’s Mickey Sabbath puts it: subtlety is not re-bellion, and subtlety is not freedom, and some-times it is rebellious freedom that one wants, and only rock music can deliver it. And some-times one despises oneself, in near middle age, for still being such a merely good student.”
–From James Wood’s The Fun Stuff and Other Essays (2012).
