When the first couple arrives, they find the hostess gone and the host lying upstairs with a superficial bullet wound. They try to hide what they fear is a scandal from the second couple, who tries to hide it from the third, and so on, until all the guests are caught in a mad melee of rumor and misunderstanding.

Players Production: The Music Man; book, music & lyrics by Meredith Willson; director Jeannie-Marie Brown
Thursday-Saturday at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday at 2:00 p.m. - Christian Center Auditorium
An affectionate paean to Smalltown, USA of a bygone era, Meredith Willson’s musical follows the fast-talking traveling salesman 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 Marion the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain’s fall. By turns wickedly funny, warmly romantic and touching, The Music Man is family entertainment at its best.
