The Wizard of Oz, Youth Edition – Sunday, May 17

**Live captioning will be available for this performance.**

Before _Wicked_ there was ‘The Wizard of Oz’, a classic tale of courage,
friendship and the journey to happiness and self-discovery. Join Dorothy and
her loyal companion Toto as they “Follow the Yellow Brick Road” through the
Land of Oz, determined to reach the Emerald City, where the great and powerful
Wizard of Oz will help them get home. Of course, along the way, Dorothy
encounters witches (both good and bad), Munchkins, talking trees and winged
monkeys. But most importantly, she befriends three unique characters: a
Scarecrow with no brain, a Tin Man with no heart, and a Lion with no “nerve.”
Their journey to happiness – and self-awareness – is a glowing testament to
friendship, understanding and hope in a world filled with both beauty and
ugliness.

Return to the classic that started it all in this charming production by the
talented students of Theatre at the J: Everyone’s a Star.
