South Philadelphia High School Music & Theatre presents The Wiz, the Musical, by Smalls and Brown, made possible by The Curtis Institute of Music and ArtistYear, as well as Public Citizens for Children and Youth's Picasso Project Grant.
Steeped with non-stop high energy singing and dancing, The Wiz showcases some of South Philadelphia High School’s finest talent, and provides students with an opportunity unlike any they have had at the school in over a decade, before last year. Currently in its second year, South Philly High School’s new music program performed a very successful run of Dreamgirls last spring during its inaugural year, bringing much needed attention to the school’s high level of talent, as well as need for a music program.
The Wiz is directed by ArtistYear Fellow Alize Rozsnyai, a recent graduate of the opera program at Curtis, and conducted by South Philly High's second year music teacher, Louis Russo. The production team includes current University of the Arts students Sara Marinich, production designer, and Cass Meehan, costume designer. The Wiz will be accompanied by a band comprised of ArtistYear Fellow Stanislav Chernyshev, who is also currently in residence at the school forming a brand new band program, as well as students of the Curtis Institute of Music and other local professional musicians.
Tickets are priced as pay-what-you-wish in order to include all community members, but with hopes that revenue will speak to the community’s support and recognized need to keep music and theatre alive and thriving at South Philadelphia High School in the future.
