Working toward the goal of building a community of talented young people from across the Miami Valley, the musical provides an opportunity for students from rural, urban and suburban communities, and from both public and private schools, to work cooperatively. According to producer Douglas Merk, more than 150 singers, dancers, musicians and crew members will comprise this production and receive pre-professional training from internationally experienced artists, including director Rufus Bonds, Jr. and choreographer Lula Elzy along with music director, and Muse Machine alumnus, Tim Olt.

The Wizard of Oz will be the 28th student musical to be produced by the Muse Machine. Tickets range from $15 to $59 and are on sale exclusively through Ticket Center Stage: 937-228-3630 or www.ticketcenterstage.com.
