Auburn Community Players take on ‘Oz’ at the Auburn Ave

Published 1:14 pm Thursday, September 15, 2011

The Auburn Community Players are at it again,

“The Wizard of Oz”, classic of stage and screen, hits the Auburn Avenue Theater with performances Oct. 14, 15, 21, 22 at 7:30 p.m. and Oct. 16, 22 matinees at 2 p.m.

After feeling neglected by her friends and family, Dorothy and her dog Toto run away from home, only to be caught in a tornado’s path, sending her over the rainbow and into the Land of Oz. There she meets some memorable friends and foes in her journey to meet the Wizard of Oz who everyone says can help her return home and possibly grant her new friends their goals of a brain, a heart and courage. But will Dorothy survive in this strange land? And will the Wizard be everything everyone says he is?

The Auburn Community Players are comprised of local and volunteer actors from the community. They produce two musicals a year, rehearsing and building sets and costumes in their spare time.

To audition or volunteer, visit the ACP Facebook page or contact the Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation Department.

The Auburn Avenue Theater hosts a variety of music, dance, comedy, films, and theater performances for all ages throughout the year.
