THE MUSIC MAN
Dolores Hannon, principal at Calf Pen Meadow school, led a very popular after school drama club. The year I came to Calf Pen, she thought it would be fun to stage "The Music Man," casting me as Harold Hill (since I was truly the new "music man" at the school.) Even though we downplayed the romantic elements of the story, we decided that Marion should also be played by an adult. One of our teacher's aides gave a wonderful performance.
After holding auditions and casting the show, Ms. Hannon had to take an unexpected medical leave for the second half of the school year. I and two other teachers took charge of the show. The collaborative effort among teachers, students and dedicated parents made it a great success!

This video is a montage of little moments from the dress rehearsal and a few longer clips from the performance.
