Director Jennifer Lindsay and assistant director Brooke Atlas, along with a large cast and crew of sixth- to eighth-grade students from Marlowe Middle School in Lake in the Hills, will present "The Music Man, Jr."

Performances will be at 7 p.m. Friday, March 13, and 3 and 7 p.m. Saturday, March 14, at the Performing Arts Center at Huntley High School, 13719 Harmony Road in Huntley.

The musical comedy by Meredith Willson features fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill who cons the fine folks of small town River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys' band he vows to organize. The catch? Hill doesn't know a trombone from a treble clef!

Can upright, uptight Marian Paroo, the town's music teacher and librarian and Harold's love interest, resist his powerful allure and bring sanity back to River City or will Hill be run out of town with his "76 trombones" in tow?

Based on the timeless Broadway classic, "The Music Man, Jr." adapts this masterful musical for young performers.

Tickets are $5 each and can be purchased at the door 45 minutes before each show. Children 3 and younger are admitted free.
