Francis Parker Theater Arts is proud to present the first-ever, three-division, two-campus spring musical: The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum.
Join Dorothy and 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. This stage adaptation, featuring the characters and celebrated songs from the film, brings the wondrous Land of Oz to life in a jubilant theatrical experience.
Performances are Thursday, March 5 at 6:30 p.m., Friday, March 6 at 7:00 p.m., and Saturday, March 7 at 7:00 p.m. (Our Sunday, March 8 matinee is sold out!) in the Goshen Campus Theater (11000 U.S. Highway 42, Goshen, KY 40026) and are produced and directed by Francis Parker Theater Arts Director Reed Gabhart.
All Francis Parker students (Preschool – 12th grade) and faculty/staff receive a complimentary show ticket. General Admission tickets are $12 for adults and $8 for non-Francis Parker students. Tickets can be purchased online or at the door. Cash, credit cards, and checks are accepted.
