Our Jr. shows are for young performers in grades 3rd – 8th, and 6th-12th. In our musical theatre productions we only accept 20 or fewer actors per cast (depending on the show) to ensure quality of instruction and experience for each young actor.  All young performers are guaranteed a speaking and/or solo singing role in the production as well as singing and dancing throughout the entire show.

A note about changes this semester: This production costs significantly more to license and produce. For this reason, we had to increase our normal materials fee from $40 to $60. We should be able to lower this fee again for future productions.

The Wizard of Oz Youth Edition
August – December 2025

By: L. Frank Baum, Harold Arlen, E. Y. Harburg, Herbert Stothart, Peter Howard, Larry Wilcox, John Kane

Join Dorothy and her loyal companion 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.
