Crystal Lake to Screen 'Oz' on the Beach

The Crystal Lake Beach Club will hold a family moving night screening “Oz the Great and Powerful” under the stars Wednesday night.

The movie, released earlier this year, is a Disney prequel to the 1939 classic that tells the story of Oscar Diggs, a Kansas magician transplanted to Oz via hot air balloon.

In the story, based on an another of Oz creator Frank Baum’s novels, the protagonist encounters the strange land and its three famous witches years before Dorothy’s famed trip.

The projector will run after dusk, and residents can bring their beach chairs and blankets to the club to set up beginning at 7:30 p.m.

Admission is $5, which covers popcorn (additional refreshments will be sold). The rain date for the movie is Thursday.
