We’ve got 76 reasons why you don’t want to miss this smash hit! Join us for our annual youth summer musical.

An affectionate paean to Smalltown, U.S.A. of a bygone era, Meredith Willson’s “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 he vows to organize – this despite the fact 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.

“As American as apple pie and a Fourth of July oration ... a marvelous show, rooted in wholesome and comic tradition." - New York Times

"An extraordinary warm-hearted, funny and captivating show."
- Daily News

"A whopping hit. This salute by Meredith Willson to his native Iowa will make even Oklahoma look to its laurels.”
