Rosary High School Musical: The Wizard of Oz

Rosary High School presents The Wizard of Oz November 8-11, 2018.

The Wizard of Oz will touch down November 8-11 at Rosary High School, 901 N. Edgelawn Dr. in Aurora. Travel over the rainbow with Dorothy to the merry old land of Oz where she learns that no matter how far our journey takes us—there’s no place like home.

The production team includes Megan Drahos, producer, vocal and orchestra director, and director Laura Biancalana, both teachers at Rosary High School.

The cast, crew, and pit orchestra includes more than 75 students from Rosary High School and Marmion Academy in Aurora, and a number of younger area students.  Music is provided by members of the Rosary Symphony Orchestra, the Rosary Chamber Orchestra, and the Marmion-Rosary Band, and some local musicians.

Show dates are Thursday, November 8, at 6 pm; Friday, November 9 at 7 p.m., Saturday, November 10 at 7 p.m., and Sunday, November 11 at 2 p.m. Show tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for students and senior citizens.

Saturday evening features a pre-show wine reception with hot hors d’oeuvres, an opportunity for photos with the cast, and a dessert reception during intermission ($30). A family Picnic in Oz ($5) is planned for Sunday at 12:30 pm. Both events are fundraisers sponsored by the Rosary Fine Arts Boosters.

Tickets are available online at www.rosaryhs.com/musical. Tickets may also be purchased by mail and in the Rosary school office. An order form can be found online. For additional information, call the school at (630) 896-0831.
