They've got Trouble (with a capital T) in River City when a fast-talking traveling salesman cons the well- meaning residents into buying expensive band equipment for their children. The all-American musical comedy features great songs such as "76 Trombones," "Ya Got Trouble" and "Marian the Librarian."

Target® has partnered with Peninsula Youth Theatre for this beloved musical to create Target® family day - the first 250 people requesting a discount to the Sunday, March 8th 1pm performance may purchase their tickets for just $12 each.

Meredith Willson's celebration of small town Americana runs March 7 - 15 at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts, 500 Castro St., Mountain View.

When the performance is a smash...you're asked for a curtain call!
