AMERICAN FAMILY THEATRE TO PRESENT “THE WIZARD OF OZ” AT WILLIAM PATERSON UNIVERSITY ON MARCH 15


William Paterson University’s Vistas Series Family Scene will present the classic musical “The Wizard of Oz” on Sunday, March 15 on the University’s campus in Wayne. The production will be presented by American Family Theater, the nation’s leading theater for family audiences.

The performance will be held at 2 p.m. in Shea Center for Performing Arts on campus. Tickets are $9. Come early for fun pre-show activities included with the admission beginning at 1:15 p.m.; the production will be followed by a post-show autograph session.

Through the magical world of the Wizard of Oz, the audience will join Dorothy’s adventures over the rainbow with the Tin Man, Scarecrow, Lion and, of course, the Wizard himself. This lively musical features friends both new and old, so “follow the yellow brick road” in this wonderfully fun production. The award-winning lighting and special effects ensure a memorable time for all ages.

The event is part of William Paterson’s Vistas Family Scene Series, designed to serve the surrounding multicultural community, as well as the University’s students and faculty. Funding for the Vistas Series at William Paterson University has been made possible, in part, by a grant from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.

For tickets or information, call the Shea Center for Performing Arts Box Office at 973-720-2371 or visit the Web at www.wplive.org.
