Da' Hip-Hop WIZZard of OZ

LQ's Performing Arts Center presents "Da' Hip-Hop WIZZard of Oz" for the second time. This production is the modernized version of the classic "Wizard of Oz" story. Dorothy and her friends (the Scarecrow, the Tinman, and the Lion) travel through the land of Oz in hopes of gaining the things that they lack from the GREAT WIZZard of Oz. Throughout this 2-hour performance show, the audience will be taken through a story of courage, trials, struggle, strife, jealousy, enlightment, and triumph- all told through dancing, acting, and music. This is definitely a family fun event. So bring your family and/or your friends and come have a good time. There are 3 shows: 5/16 (7p), 5/17 (8p), 5/18 (4p).
