Lights Up! Theatre Company To Open Eighth Season With THE WIZARD OF OZ
Teen cast will present the musical December 4–7 at Santa Barbara High School.
Lights Up! Theatre Company will open its eighth season with The Wizard of Oz, presented by its teen cast December 4–7 at the theater at Santa Barbara High School. The production will follow Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tinman, and the Cowardly Lion as they travel through Oz in search of the Wizard.
Now in its eighth season, Lights Up! continues its work as a Santa Barbara teen theater company offering performance and conservatory training. Company members collaborate with professional designers, makeup artists, and costumers as part of the production process. The staging will reflect the company’s emphasis on creative development and ensemble training.
Artistic Director Amy Love said, “The Wizard of Oz has been on our list since season one, and with the huge upsurge in interest created by the Wicked films and the recreation of the original movie, we felt all signs pointed to Oz for our season eight opener! It’s a timeless story told with simple truths – and one that still touches the hearts of young and old alike.”
