That’s a wrap on The Music Man! 🎺💛

What an incredible four shows. From our performers who brought River City to life, to our directors and staff, our backstage crew, our families, our volunteers, our alumni, and every single audience member who came out to cheer them on — THANK YOU. This show was a community effort in every sense of the word and we couldn’t be more proud.

To our cast and company: you worked so hard, you showed up for each other, and you made something truly special. We hope you’re as proud of yourselves as we are of you. 🌟
