From Little Gretl to Leading Roles: Greece Athena’s The Sound of Music Brings Generations Together
GREECE, NY – The hills are alive at the Greece Central Performing Arts Center! This upcoming production of The Sound of Music—celebrating the 60th anniversary of the classic film—features a heartwarming "full-circle" story. Several lead cast members who began their journey in this very show as young children are now returning to the spotlight as high school stars.
A Full-Circle Journey For these performers, this production is a homecoming:
- Bailey Catena (Maria):Now a senior, Bailey first joined the cast at age seven. "I remember watching the older kids and knowing I wanted to be just like them. I am looking forward to building connections with the younger children in the show. When I see the new little ones I am filled with so much excitement for them. They bring life to this show and their energy inspires me to be the best I can be".
- Grace Candileri (Liesl):A sophomore who debuted as Gretl at just four years old, sparked by a love for the stage lights. “I think this is such an incredible opportunity for our youngest cast members to really find a theater family just like I did.”
- Jamie Fetzner (Sister Margaretta) & Madyson Hewitt (Ursula):Both performed in the show as young as six and seven years old said, “Seeing these kids practice makes us so happy because they are having so much fun. We can't wait to watch them have the time of their lives on stage.”
Mentoring the Next Generation The tradition continues with a new group of elementary and middle school students starring as the younger Von Trapp children and members of the children’s choir. Our high school veterans serve as dedicated mentors and hosts, fostering a "theater family" for these young actors. This cycle of mentorship ensures that the passion for the arts remains vibrant in the Greece Athena community for years to come.
Join us for a truly unforgettable production of The Sound of Music, where the past and present intertwine, and the future of theatre shines brightly. Come witness the magic as generations of talent come together to tell a story that continues to resonate with hearts worldwide.
