The Theatre Group at SBCC to Present THE MUSIC MAN, 7/10-25

TThe Theatre Group at SBCC will open its 70th Anniversary Season with the beloved musical THE MUSIC MAN, July 10-25.

The Theatre Group at SBCC will open the 2015/16 anniversary season with the well-loved musical, Meredith Willson's THE MUSIC MAN, Book, Music and Lyrics by Meredith Willson, Story by Meredith Willson and Franklin Lacey. Directed by R. Michael Gros and Musical Direction by David Potter, The Music Man will perform July 10-25, 2015 in the beautiful Garvin Theatre.

By turns funny, warm and romantic, The Music Man is family entertainment at its best. Meredith Willson's six-time, Tony Award-winning musical comedy has been entertaining audiences since 1957 and is a story to be shared with every generation. 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, despite the fact he doesn't know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town go awry when he meets his match, Marian the librarian, whose savvy sweetness may just convince him to finally face the music.

The Music Man will feature Craig Cady as Harold Hill and Siobhan Doherty as Marian the librarian. A large supporting cast will include Leslie Ann Story, Susie Couch and Jim Sirriani (to name a few) with some very talented young actors.
