City Springs Theatre Company presents a new production of “The Music Man” at the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center, opening Sept. 6. Shuler Hensley, artistic director of City Springs, will be directing the delightful tale of the brassy con man Harold Hill, who has made a living swindling small towns and accidentally finds himself falling in love during his latest scheme.

The Tony-Award Award-winning actor and director recently joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes to discuss the upcoming production and his relationship with the musical.

Hensley’s last interaction with the play was during a 2022 run (intended for 2019) that helped welcome theater back into American life after the pandemic.
