I love when art and creativity have the opportunity to pair for a cause. I just discovered CANstruction a few years ago and it’s now an event that I look forward to each year. The CANstruction displays are a blend of purpose and art.

Are you a Sound of Music fan?
The Sound of Music was one of my favorite musicals as a child and it still holds a special place in my heart today. I still know all of the songs and might be known to sing them off key from time to time.
Nestled in the majestic hills of Austria, under the looming shadow of Nazi Germany, free-spirited Maria leaves the abbey to serve as nanny to the motherless children of the austere Captain von Trapp. With music and boundless love, Maria restores joy to the children’s home and finds unexpected feelings for their father, whose heart has rekindled with “the sound of music.”
The audience gets to enjoy the beautiful music played by The Kentucky Symphony Orchestra accompanied by the incredible voices of the cast. A few days after the show, my 11 year old son was still talking about how great their voices were.
We really enjoyed the play and you still have time to enjoy it too!

Even if you are too young to remember the movie, there is a good chance that you have heard the classic songs from the 1983 film Flashdance. I was really excited about seeing this play.
As a child who grew up in the 80’s, I knew that Flashdance – The Musical would be a fun show with lots of great dance numbers. I also recently went to Pittsburgh for the first time over the summer and I fell in love with the city and it’s hard working roots and grit, which is where the story takes place.
