There is “Trouble in River City” when Easton Middle School presents the Tony Award winning (five of them, including Best Musical), Grammy winning (Best Cast Album) show The Music Man this weekend and next in the Easton High Auditorium. The plot: con man Harold Hill poses as a boys’ band organizer and leader and sells band instruments and uniforms to naive townsfolk before skipping town with the cash. Librarian and piano teacher Marian Paroo sees through him but falls in love with him – and he with her, despite the risks. Grab the kids for a fun and quality family evening.
Looking ahead – Monday, the Easton branch of Talbot County Free Library presents “An Evening of Jazz Guitar” featuring the Bob Johnson Trio. The trio will be performing selections from the Great American Songbook in this hour – long program.
And on Tuesday, February 5, the Maritime Museum presents Elizabeth Beckley of Preservation Maryland, who has spent her professional personal life, “..in, on, and under old Chesapeake houses.” The talk is part of the museum’s This Old Chesapeake House winter speaker series.
