Seeking Kids for "The Music Man" Show
Young performers are invited to audition for "The Music Man" Show. Please see the details below. About the project: There's trouble in River City! When fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill arrives in a small Iowa town, he convinces the townspeople that their youngsters desperately need a boys' band. There's just one problem: Harold doesn't know a trombone from a trumpet, and he plans to skip town with the money before anyone discovers his scheme! But Harold hasn't counted on Marian Paroo, the sharp-witted town librarian and music teacher, who sees right through his act. As Harold charms the town and unexpectedly falls in love, this delightful musical reminds us that even the most unlikely people can change their tune.
