The Music Man at Center Theatre
Center Theatre at the MJCCA presents a community production of the classic musical, The Music Man, directed by Dina Shadwell. The story follows a con man Harold Hill, who poses as a boys' band organizer and leader, sells band instruments and uniforms to naive townsfolk before skipping town with the cash. But in River City, Iowa, things go awry when he falls for Marian, a librarian he tries to divert from exposing him while he inadvertently enriches the town with a love of music.
The show’s one-of-a-kind nostalgic score includes rousing marches, barbershop quartets and sentimental ballads which have become popular standards.
For information and showtimes, visit Center Theatre.

At age four, after watching classical cellist Yo Yo Ma perform on “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” an inspiration came to jazz artist Esperanza Spalding. “It was definitely the thing that hipped me to the whole idea of music as a creative pursuit,” says Spalding. Within a year, she learned to play violin well enough to become a part of the Chamber Music Society of Oregon.
By age 15 she became their concertmaster, but also discovered the bass and other music genres. Now in her mid-twenties, the musician, composer, model (as seen in Banana Republic ads) and instructor is a hit on the late-night television circuit and garners illustrious honors, such as opening the first White House Poetry Slam last May.
Spalding’s international tour brings her to Emerson Concert Hall in Emory University’s Schwartz Center on Nov. 14 at 8 p.m. for a concert with drummer Lyndon Rochelle and pianist Leo Genovese. They will perform contemporary American and Brazilian jazz, including Spalding’s own music. As an Emory Coca-Cola Artist-in-Residence Spalding leads a masterclass with demonstrations and a question and answer period on Fri., Nov. 13 at 3:30 p.m. in the Schwartz Center, Tharp Rehearsal Hall (free and open for public observation).

Center Theatre at the MJCCA presents a community production of the classic musical, The Music Man, directed by Dina Shadwell. With book, music and lyrics by Meredith Willson, based on a story by Meredith Willson and Franklin Lacey, the stage production of The Music Man is brought to life in Center Theatre’s beautiful Morris & Rae Frank Theatre (located at the MJCCA, 5342 Tilly Mill Road, Dunwoody), and runs December 10 - 20, 2009.
In the musical, con man Harold Hill, who poses as a boys' band organizer and leader, sells band instruments and uniforms to naive townsfolk before skipping town with the cash. But in River City, Iowa, things go awry when he falls for Marian, a librarian he tries to divert from exposing him while he inadvertently enriches the town with a love of music.
The show’s one-of-a-kind nostalgic score includes rousing marches (Seventy-Six Trombones), barbershop quartets (Lida Rose) and sentimental ballads (Till There Was You) which have become popular standards.
