Celebrate the 60th anniversary of The Sound of Music with a screening that’s unfortunately relevant. The Oscar-winning film set in pre-WWII Salzburg combines an unforgettable soundtrack by Rodgers and Hammerstein with incredible performances from Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer as the real-life story of the Von Trapp Family Singers plays out. Witness a powerful account of love and resistance as the “problematic” Maria advocates for the rights of women and children, and the anti-fascist Captain von (Thirst) Trapp verbally skewers goose-stepping goons before the whole family decides to get the hell out of Austria.
Sunday 3/2. $7–9, 2pm. The Paramount Theater, 215 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. theparamount.net
