The Woodland Opera House presents its Young Adult Performer’s Series production “The Wizard of Oz — a New Modern Play” adapted for the stage by Jon Jory from the book written by L. Frank Baum. Set for 2 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, March 6 and 7, the play is underwritten by Music to Grow on Music Therapy Services Inc.
Directed by Cheryl Watson, the play was rehearsed completely remotely and recorded on Zoom.
“We wanted to provide an outlet for our skilled teen acting students who are eager to continue performing. To rehearse safely, Cheryl devised an efficient rehearsal system on Zoom and spent countless hours creating delightful virtual backdrops to transform each cast member’s living room “over the rainbow,” explained executive director Angela Baltezore.
