Central Public Schools - Education Is Central

Central Drama is pleased to announce the 2023 fall musical! Drum roll please...Meredith Wilson's "The Music Man" The Central stage will be transformed into River City, IA circa 1912. This sleepy town is stirred up by a slick talking salesman selling band instruments. His antics include him collecting money and catching the last train out of town; only this time...he gets his foot caught in the door. Any student wishing to audition should link-in to the Google classroom listed below. https://classroom.google.com/c/NTIzNDAxODIwNDQ1?cjc=g7hk26s *Auditions Sept 5-14, location: TBD. *Show dates: November 16-18, 2023.
