My Project

These items will help my stage crew to start assembling costumes for the cast of "The Wiz". The fog and gobo lights will help the crew to create the magic of the world of Oz as the cast ventures through the classic story that is culturally relevant.

My goals is to provide students in stage crew, theater, choir, dance squad and advanced music to collaborate on our production of "The Wiz".

Students will develop their skills in team work and creatively communicating with their audience. In the end we hope to carry the audience on a very magical, imaginative tale of self discovery, heroism and love.
