THE WIZ

book by William F. Brown
music & lyrics by Charlie Smalls
adapted from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum
directed by Tracie M. Jiggetts
Apr 7 - 30, 2017

Dorothy is swept up by a cyclone and transplanted to the land of Oz — landing on top of the Wicked Witch of the East; the puzzled Dorothy is greeted by munchkins who sing to her about the Wiz, a powerful wizard living in Emerald City who can help her get home. On her journey down the yellow brick road, she encounters a garbage-stuffed scarecrow in a junkyard, a broken-down tin man caught in the decay of an old park, and a cowardly lion posing as a stone statue. The quartet faces numerous obstacles including a gaggle of motorcycle henchman on their way to the Wiz — who orders them to kill the Wicked Witch of the West (a sweatshop tyrant) before he will grant their wishes.
