The Wiz (Summer Youth Project)

The Wiz is a vibrant, modern retelling of The Wizard of Oz, brought to life with soul, gospel, and R&B. When Dorothy is swept from Kansas into the magical land of Oz, she sets out along the Yellow Brick Road to find the powerful Wiz, believing he can help her return home. On her journey, she befriends the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Lion. Together they face challenges, overcome fears, and meet and confront Glinda and the Wicked Witch of the West. In the Emerald City, Dorothy discovers that the Wiz is not what he seems, and learns that confidence, courage, and compassion have been within her and her friends all along. The Wiz celebrates identity, resilience, and the power of community, delivering a joyful message that confidence, courage, and compassion come from within.
