On inarch 27-29, 1987, the Clay Auditorium came alive with song and dance as Clay ' s Music and Drama departments put on Willson and Lacey ' s The Music Man. The famous musical com- edy about a fast-talking salesman named Harold Hill, and his adventures in River City, Iowa has been a favorite among audiences for years. The cast of approximately ninety-five members was headed by graduate Fred Hart- zell (Professor Hill), senior Kim Snyder (Marion Paroo), ju- nior Colleen Loeffler (Mrs. Pa- roo), and graduate Brent Marty (Marcellus Washburn). Special guest appearances by staff members Mr. Dan Kasper, Mrs. Sheila Emge, Mrs. Frances Lein, and Ms. Dianne Cham- bers added to the production. Seeing some of my teach- ers on stage was really enjoy- able — and humorous! , stat- ed an anonymous junior. Behind the scenes were Mrs. Dorothy Powers (musical and production director) and Miss nancy Shelley (drama direc- tor), who both put in a great deal of patience and hard work to insure the show ' s success. Mr. Jerry Lackey, Ms. Qanette Smith, and Mr. Jeff Christiana did an excellent job coaching the orchestra. Every one who took part in the show gave up their after school hours and weekends for more than two straight months. It was time-consuming. but 1 got so much out of it. , stressed Kim Snyder. On all three performances the show received high praise. They seemed so profession- al, I couldn ' t believe it was a high-school production! ' said senior Jeff Sriver. Because of extensive prepa- ration (not to mention raw tal- ent), the cast and crew of The Music Man put on a showthey could be proud of. — Jennifer norborg Music Man 17
