Good evening and welcome to Gering High School’s production of The Music Man! These past few months have been a whirlwind of rehearsals with blocking, singing, and dancing. We have had the opportunity to have 24 Gering fourth and fifth-graders in the show to make for some pretty great River City kids! It's been so much fun as a director to watch the high school "bigs" take these elementary "littles" under their wings to form our River City families. We have some tremendous talent in our schools! Now we invite you to sit back, relax, and take a trip back to 1912 with us as we discover the TROUBLE that has come to River City!
Thank you to Andy Stobel for your amazing talent and creative vision of our sets and fantastic blocking of each scene. I can’t thank you enough for your patience, support, and guidance. We wouldn’t have a show without all your hard work and dedication! Simply put, you are the best!!
Thank you to Josiah Ashford for his time and talents contructing our set! We are so lucky to have you!
