Michael
McGovern
(Harold Hill -click photo above to enlarge) - PST is proud to have Mike in his first PST production.
Mike shares with us the following: "The
following may sound too fantastic to be true, but it is. For
inspiration in playing the role of Professor Harold Hill, I journeyed to
Meredith Willson birthplace
and his inspiration for "River City" - Mason City, Iowa. To my
amazement, I found it was all there: the library, the town square, the
Picnic Park and of course, the footbridge. I was fortunate indeed to
meet Shirley Jones (who was in town for Meredith Willson Museum benefit
concert) and Mrs. Meredith Willson. I got a bad
case of butterflies
when Mrs. Willson told me to do a little bit of "Trouble" in the parlor of
the famed composer's boyhood
home. Thank goodness "The Think System"
really does work. Hope you enjoy our show - especially the
librarians! You can now see Michael in Joseph
at Sheboygan May 21 thru June 2.
