Music Man Plays To Standing Ovations The haunting memories of Meredith Willson’s Music Man can still be heard echoing through the Hall auditorium. The story of a hustling salesman, Harold Hill, was brought to life by the Drama Club. Taking place in the small Iowa community of River City, Professor Hill, played by Emil Bertalot, convinces the people they had a problem. The opening scene set the pace for what was to come. “You got troubles right here in River City’’ gave Harold Hill an opportunity to install the seed for a boys’ band. The casting was an enormous task for a small school and several of the cast members came from the elementary school system and the Illinois Valley Community College. Director Kevin McNulty supervised student director Kathy Becker as the many details of production came together. Professor Hill, a real conman, made an impression on many people. The real job was that of winning over the librarian, Marian Paroo, played by Patti Pienta. Four short weeks found the town of River City torn about the validity of their boys’ band. Strong performances were given by Emil Bertalot, Patti Pienta, Jamie Dees, Kevin Schmollinger, Jane Rooney, and Amy Rauh. The troup performed to capacity houses on February 17, 18, and 19. The dramatic finale of “’76 Trombones” brought the crowds to their feet as they gave a standing ovation at each performance and curtain call upon curtain call. The Music Man stands with the great shows at Hall High School. After four weeks of trying Professor Hill (Emil Bertalot) finally gets through to Marion Paroo (Patti Pienta) as he sings TILL THERE WAS YOU. 14 MUSICAL
