SMTE's THE WIZARD OF OZ Comes to Florida State College Tonight

FSCJ Artist Series and the Nathan H. Wilson Center for the Arts are proud to present the 10th Annual High School Summer Musical Theatre Experience! This program provides theatre opportunities to 7th-12th graders in the First Coast area and allows them to work hands-on with some of the highest recognized local and regional theatre professionals.

This year, participants will perform THE WIZARD OF OZ on July 24, 25 and 31 and August 1 at 7:30PM and July 26 and August 2 at 2PM for six performances only at the Wilson Center for the Arts on Florida State College at Jacksonville's South Campus (11901 Beach Blvd). More than 70 student performers and technicians are training for the production of THE WIZARD OF OZ.

Like so many other girls her age, little Dorothy Gale of Kansas dreams of what lies over the rainbow. One day, a twister hits her farm and carries her away over the rainbow to another world.

Come join Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man and Toto as they travel the universe of Dorothy's imagination.
