Local theater group will have five performances at The Garver Theater in Camas, with opening night set for Aug. 2
Harold Hill had a plan, a plan to con a bunch of folks in the Midwest.
But will love get in the way of that plan?
By turns wicked, funny, warm, romantic and touching, The Music Man has been entertaining audiences since 1957.
In August, Clark County’s Journey Theater will present its production of Meredith Wilson’s The Music Man, with five performances at The Garver Theater in Camas.
The Music Man is a six-time Tony Award-winning musical comedy. It follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a band that he vows to organize. Turns out, Hill does not know a trombone from a treble clef. He really wants to skip town with the cash.

Marian the librarian, though, changes everything.
Can The Music Man transform into a respectable citizen by curtain’s fall?
