Wizard of Oz Production Updates: So far there has not been any official rehearsals or choreography that has been taught for Wizard of Oz. Initially, it was communicated that rehearsals for main roles would start mid May, but I feel that we need to start immediately after the 2nd Auditions and when all parts have been casted. With summer around the corner, I know many of you leave for Holiday so we are going to start teaching the choreography starting April 6th. I have personally spent hours cutting & editing the music for Oz and now have completely compiled & finished the 45 minute masterpiece. It's very exciting!
