directed by Bob Wilson
Funded in part by The Tom Nehl Fund and The Community Foundation
The plot revolves around "Professor" Harold Hill, a con-man in the early 1900’s who--in order to sell band instruments--convinces the citizens of River City, Iowa that he can teach their children to play in a magnificent marching band. He tries to make a score by creating a need for band instruments and uniforms. In addition to the instruments and uniforms, he sells music lessons in advance, concealing the fact that he cannot read or play a note of music. In the process he galvanizes the town out of its torpor and falls in love with the local librarian/music teacher. This musical is the original setting for such songs as "Seventy-Six Trombones" and "Till There Was You."
