Theatre Intensive:
The Music Man
June 3 - July 20, 2008
This is the opportunity for kids and
teens to rehearse and perform their own full-scale musical
production of Meredith Willson's THE
MUSIC MAN at
the Boiler Room Theatre (July 18-20). All participants
will
be cast
in the show; many
principal and ensemble roles are available, with many opportunities
for boys.
THE MUSIC MAN is
the story of "Professor" Harold
Hill, a con man whose scam is to convince parents he
can teach
their musically-disinclined children to play musical instruments.
Taking pre-paid orders for instruments and uniforms with
the promise he will form a band, he skips town and moves
on to the next one before he's exposed. Arriving in fictional
1912 River City, Iowa, Hill finds his modus operandus compromised
when he becomes attracted to a local librarian, Marian
Paroo, who recognizes him for the fraud he is. Hill eventually
comes clean, chooses to stay, and is rewarded with unanticipated
redemption: uncritical
parents marvel and cheer as Hill's newly organized Boy's
Band performs, and the characters live happily ever after.
