The North Hills Middle School Drama Club presents The Music Man Jr. as the 2026 winter musical production.  Performances take place Thursday-Saturday, January 29-31, 2026 at 7:00PM in the middle school auditorium.  Nearly 100 students in grades 6-8 come together to for the annual show as cast, running/set crew, hair/make-up crew, and light/sound crew members, ushers, as well as several high school student directors.

All seats are reserved and can be purchased beginning January 17 by clicking the links below through HomeTown Ticketing (the same ticketing platform used for athletic events).  Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for students and senior citizens (65+).  All audience members are asked to enter the building using the library entrance.  Doors open at 6:30pm on the night of each performance, and parents will have congratulatory gifts for sale in the lobby upon arrival.

Based on Meredith Willson's six-time-Tony-Award-winning musical comedy, The Music Man Jr. features some of musical theatre’s most iconic songs and a story filled with wit, warmth and good old-fashioned romance. Master showman Harold Hill is in town and he’s got “seventy-six trombones” in tow. Can upright, uptight Marian, the town librarian, resist his powerful allure?  The story follows fast-talking traveling salesman, Harold Hill, as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys' band he vows to organize. The catch? 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, whose belief in Harold’s power just might help him succeed in the end in spite of himself.
