Summer Theatre Academy 2012 presents THE WIZ
While similar in plot to “The Wizard of Oz”, THE WIZ transform the show into a more fun, funky modern version. Dorothy, the little girl from Kansas is blown by a tornado into Munchkinland in the Land Of Oz. While there she meets the Scarecrow, the Tinman & the Cowardly Lion on the Yellow Brick Road. She defeats the evil witch and goes to see the powerful Wizard who turns out to be a phoney. However, he is able to convince Dorothy that she can do anything she wants if she just believes in herself. Dorothy also realizes the importance of home and her family. THE WIZ is performed by the students from the WPPAC Conservatory Theatre’s summer program.
