“The Music Man” follows fast-talking traveling salesman, Harold Hill, as he cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band that he vows to organize, despite the fact that he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain’s fall.
The creative team, led by Director Sara Schoch, includes Tom Baroco as Music Director, Jennifer Spearman as Choreographer, Charles Houghton as Set & Lighting Designer, and Glenn Avery Breed as Costume Designer.
