DuPont Theatre Offers A Chance To Be Flown Around The Stage Before THE WIZARD OF OZ 10/22 Performance

One lucky DuPont United Way bidder will be flown up and around the stage of the historic DuPont Theatre on Thursday, October 22 before the evening's performance of THE WIZARD OF OZ. This unique and breathtaking special effects experience is offered as the DuPont Theatre's contribution to the 2009 DuPont United Way On-Line Auction, in which DuPont employees and their families may bid to support the 2009 United Way of Delaware Campaign now through October 2. Just as the Wicked Witch of the West flies high for every performance in this exciting new production of the classic show, the winning bidder will literally be swept off their feet and will fly high for their favorite charity, using the expert magic of the national tour's professional Broadway crew. Who knew something tax-deductable could be so much fun?

The national tour of THE WIZARD OF OZ touches down in Wilmington October 20-25, heralding the opening of the DuPont Theatre's Broadway Season.
