' Music Man ' arrives on Broad Ripple stage While Winthrop, played by Reed Nesbit, sulks in the corner, and Marian watches with concern, Amaryllis, played by Marcia Olive, ridicules Winthrop ' s lisp. Seventy-six trombones and the appearance of a real brass band brought River City and its stubborn Iowa citizens to Broad Ripple ' s stage as the Golden Singers produced Meredith Wilson ' s Music Man. A fast-talking traveling salesman, Professor Harold Hill, played by Mark MacLucas, comes to River City to rid them of their trouble by or- ganizing a boys ' band. Although the citizens, led by Mayor Shinn and his wife, played by Bill Schumacher and Pam Retterer, are skeptical at first, soon every boy in town is learning to play an instrument with Hill ' s think system. The biggest obstacle in Hill ' s path is the local librarian and piano teacher, played by Betsy Mateer, who is on to his tricks. After Hill ' s constant pursuit, Marian reveals her love for him in a song. A live band marching through the aisles cli- maxed two months of direction by Mr. Gene Poston, Mrs. Barbara Mueller, and Mrs. Lucinda Paul. We ' ve got trouble, right here in River City, sings Professor Harold Hill, portrayed by Mark MacLucas as he astounds the citizens by informing them of the troublesome situation caused by the addition of a pool table to the community.
