Shine up your brass trombone, take out your tuba, and pick up your piccolo, Meredith Willson's The Music Man is coming to the Ojai Art Center Theater and you're invited. Set in the fictional town of River City, where the residents celebrate their Iowa stubbornness and glory in their gossip, this play introduced America to fast-talking salesman-cum-conman, Harold Hill, and the feisty American heroine, Marian the librarian. This is also the show that put 76 Trombones into every marching band's repertoire, and had us all singing about Gary, Indiana, and The Wells Fargo Wagon.
The Music Man, runs five weekends beginning Friday, June 24, through Sunday, July 24. Performance times are Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. The theater is located at 113 South Montgomery Street in downtown Ojai. Tickets go on sale June 1, at OjaiAct.org. General admission is $30, $25 for students, seniors, and Art Center members. For ticket information and group sales call 805-640-8797.
