The Music Man, written by Meredith Willson, tells the charming story of con artist Harold Hill, who plans to swindle the unsuspecting residents of River City, Iowa, by posing as a boys’ band leader.
Little does he know, his plans will be derailed by the town’s librarian, Marian Paroo, leading to unexpected romance and community spirit.
The show will include beloved musical numbers such as “76 Trombones,” “Goodnight, My Someone,” and “Till There Was You.”
There are more than 60 youth in grades 6-12 involved in the on-stage cast and technical crew.
Collectively, these students represent 11 area schools and homeschools.
The Music Man is directed by Kristina Rowe.
The production team also includes Zachary Thomas, music director and Timothy Frost, choreographer.
