SUBMITTED PHOTO Jason A. Plake as the traveling salesman and Katherine Sliter as the librarian star in Buck Creek Players’ production of “The Music Man.” Buck Creek Players will wrap up its 41st season with its annual play-a-part fundraiser, in which some of the roles were awarded to the highest bidders through an online auction.
The play for this year’s production is “The Music Man,” which pairs veteran performers with first-timers to give the classical musical a comedic twist much like “The Carol Burnett Show.”
An affectionate paean to Smalltown, U.S.A., of a bygone era, the show follows 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 he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef.
His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, the town’s librarian.
Curtain times at the playhouse, 11150 Southeastern Ave., are 8 p.m. July 31 and Aug. 1 and 2:30 p.m. Aug. 1 and 2. Tickets are $25 and can be reserved by calling 862-2270 or visiting www.buckcreekplayers.com. Discounts are available for parties of 10 or more when tickets are purchased online.
