FSCJ Artist Series and the Nathan H. Wilson Center for the Arts are proud to present the 10th Annual High School Summer Musical Theatre Experience! This program provides theatre opportunities to 7th-12th graders in the First Coast area and allows them to work hands-on with some of the highest recognized local and regional theatre professionals. More than 70 student performers and technicians are training for this production. This year, participants will perform L. Frank Baum’s The Wizard of Oz for six performances only!
Like so many other girls her age, little Dorothy Gale of Kansas dreams of what lies over the rainbow. One day, a twister hits her farm and carries her away over the rainbow to another world. Come join Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man and Toto as they travel the universe of Dorothy’s imagination.
The Wizard of Oz (see the trailer), by L. Frank Baum, will feature the Music & Lyrics by Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg. Background Music will be by Herbert Stothart; Dance and Vocal Arrangements by Peter Howard; Orchestration by Larry Wilcox. This show is adapted by John Kane for the Royal Shakespeare Company and is based upon the Classical Motion Picture owned by Turner Entertainment Co. and distributed in all media by Warner Bros.
