Twelfth Night Productions (TNP) is pleased to announce it’s next offering Meredith Wilson’s ode to Americana, "The Music Man," running Aug. 7 through 23.

An affectionate tribute to small town USA of a bygone era, "The Music Man" follows a fast talking traveling sales man, Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band he vows to organize, 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 Marian the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain’s fall.

TNP is excited to partner with the All City Band for this cherished musical. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the All City Band.

TNP is a non-profit performing arts organization located at Youngstown Cultural Arts Center. This production features several artists from the West Seattle community as well as the greater Seattle area.

The Music Man runs in a special limited engagement at the West Seattle High School, 3000 California Ave. S.W.

Show times are: August 7 through 8, 14 through 15 and 21 through 22 at 7:30 p.m., with matinees at 3 p.m. on August 9, 16 and 23. Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for students & seniors, and are available through Square One Books, Brown Paper Tickets (www.brownpapertickets.com), and at West Seattle High School one hour before each performance.
