Shelton Theatre Arts Department presents Meredith Willson’s classic musical The Music Man February 15 – 18.

Under the direction of Anné Hughes, Director of Fine Arts at Shelton, over 80 students will be involved as cast, crew or musicians.

Led by faculty member Clay Houston, students have entirely built the set, with assistance from volunteer crew members.

Students had an extra benefit from this production by working four days with renowned director Rod Caspers, recently retired from The University of Texas at Austin.  Musical director is Blair King, and band direction is under the leadership of Jerry Bishop and Ken Utz.

Performances take place February15, 16 and 17 at 7:00 pm and at 2:00 pm on February 18.  All performances take place in The Commons on Shelton’s campus, 15720 Hillcrest Road, Dallas, TX 75248.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students (through grade 12). Tickets may be purchased online or at the door.  A pre-show fried chicken dinner takes place Friday, February 16, 5:00 – 6:30 pm.  Tickets must be purchased in advance for $10.

“This is good clean fun, and we’ll have folks humming and marching along to these time-honored tunes.  Everyone loves this parade,” says Head of School Linda Kneese.
