media partner		Thursday, July 2, 2009 - 8:00 PM Meredith Willson's THE MUSIC MAN Presented by Springfield Civic Theatre and The Springfield Arts Council River City’s got Trouble with a capital T, and that rhymes with V, and that stands for Veteran's Park Amphitheater and a red-white-and-Broadway weekend of Meredith Willson's THE MUSIC MAN at the Summer Arts Festival! River City’s "citizian's" have a great big Iowa chip on their shoulders until Professor Harold Hill slides into town with a scheme to bedazzle and bilk the townspeople. Leave it to the librarian, Marian, to cause Hill to show his true colors, as the Professor colors River City with music, true love, and of course "76 Trombones!" It's family-friendly Fourth of July fun in the park! Director: Tim Rowe Musical Director: Chris Moore Choreographer: Gary Geis THE MUSIC MAN is presented though special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. 421 West 54th Street, New York, NY 10019 Phone: 212-541-4684 • Fax: 212-397-4684 • www.MTIshows.com The videotaping or other video or audio recording of this production is strictly prohibited. event co-sponsor (Thursday evening performance)
