Journey To Oz

Kids have a special invitation to step into the spotlight this weekend

Never before has a show at the Clermont Performing Arts Center brought the audience onstage to be part of the production. Children will have the opportunity to perform in one of the largest theaters in Lake County.

“Journey to Oz” comes to life at 11 am and 3 pm this Saturday, October 20, at the Clermont Performing Arts Center, 3700 S. Highway 27.  A child’s ticket is only $7.50.

Just in time for Halloween, children are encouraged to dress up as their favorite character in this fantastic new adaptation. Every child in attendance can wear their costumes, get free candy and have lots of fun.

Children will be invited to go to Oz with Dorothy and become part of the experiential production — singing, dancing and acting alongside professional actors. When the cyclone comes, the entire theater enters the eye of the storm with whisking lights and exciting music created by lauded composer Josh Totora.

Students play 16 individual roles during the play, in addition to a few who are picked to dance in the Emerald City. The entire audience will sing, create sound effects, participate in call and response, and play Munchkins, Winkies, Crows and Flying Monkeys.

“Journey to Oz” originated at Children’s Theatre of Charlotte, where the target audience was 4- to 12-year-old students (grades K-6), and family audiences of all ages.
