Four months of preparation, casting, rehearsing, set building, costuming, sewing, more rehearsing, singing, dancing, painting, and more rehearsing has come to an end, as Pagosa Springs High School opened their spring musical "The Wiz" with a preview performance this past Tuesday.
A modern version of the classic "The Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum, it is a production for all ages, that tells the old tale with a twist that not only includes familiar characters such as Munchkins, Evil & Good Witches, and Flying Monkeys, but also offers a dancing Tornado, scary Kalidahs in the Forest, and Winkie slaves. The musical genre is varied, including soul, jazz, rock and roll and classical, played beautifully by our 14 piece community and student orchestra.
 Please come and support performing arts in our schools, and our cast and crew that have been working for the past ten weeks to bring "The Wiz" to the Pagosa stage. Final performances are today, Thursday, May 1, and Friday and Saturday, May 2nd and 3rd at 7:00pm at the high school auditorium.
Tickets are available at the high school, the Chamber of Commerce downtown, and at the door. Avoid the long lines performance evenings and purchase your tickets early. "Ease on Down the Road" with the PSHS Music & Theater Department! |
