Chris App: First Wave Tour

Join the Academy Youth Theatre for an exciting day of performances featuring two captivating productions: the "Wizard of Oz Youth Edition" and "Young Actor’s Not So Mysterious Disappearance of Cinderella," both scheduled for July 17.

The "Wizard of Oz Youth Edition" is a one-hour adaptation perfect for elementary and middle school students, bringing L. Frank Baum's classic story to life. Follow Dorothy and her dog Toto on their adventure through the magical Land of Oz, where they encounter beloved characters like the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion, accompanied by joyful songs from MGM’s 1939 film.

In a humorous twist, "Young Actor’s Not So Mysterious Disappearance of Cinderella" presents a comedic mystery where Cinderella goes missing, making everyone in the kingdom a suspect. This contemporary adaptation is filled with laughter and pop-culture references, promising entertainment for audiences of all ages.

Both productions emphasize access to the arts, offering discounted tickets for groups, seniors, educators, military personnel, and WIC participants.
