The official announcement from Twelfth Night Productions:

Twelfth Night Productions (TNP) is pleased to announce it’s next offering Meredith Willson’s ode to Americana, The Music Man. An affectionate tribute to small town USA of a bygone era, The Music Man follows a fast talking traveling sales man, 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 that 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.

TNP is excited to partner with the All City Band for this cherished musical. Expect surprises, laughter, fun and an old fashioned good time this summer as Twelfth Night Productions presents The Music Man. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the All City Band.

TNP is a non-profit performing arts organization located at Youngstown Cultural Arts Center. This production features several artists from the West Seattle community as well as the greater Seattle area.

The Music Man runs in a special limited engagement at the West Seattle High School, 3000 CALIFORNIA AV SW. Seattle, WA 98116.
