We enacted the final scene, where the Von Trapp family escapes over the Alps. Being 3.5 months older, Sandy snatched the lead as Captain Von Trapp. I played the other hikers. Captain Sandy, with her doll (Gretl Von Trapp) perched on her shoulders, began her ascent. She cleared the first rung of the 1960s floor-to-ceiling pole lamp. With “Climb Ev’ry Mountain” lifting her, she continued upward. Before summiting, however, the fixture buckled. Clinging to the crumpled pole, Sandy and doll went down hard, landing in a heap on the carpeted floor. Sandy was grounded. I was sent home. Along the way, I decided that backup roles were just fine.
