IGHCT marked its 5th Anniversary Season with the production of Meredith Willson's The Music Man. Deanne McDonald Haywood (2023's Mrs. Banks in Mary Poppins) directed the show, with choreography by Maeve Mellen, vocal direction by Elena Cressy, and orchestra direction by Aaron VanDanacker.

​

The cast, crew, orchestra, and volunteers numbered over 100, once again providing participation opportunities for all ages. A 17-piece orchestra occupied the spacious pit and supported the cast's wonderful vocal and choreographed numbers. The PAC stage's rigging and flying capabilities were fully utilized for the various sets used throughout the show's scenes. Our audience totals for the run grew from the previous year, marking another successful season.
