The Little Red Truck from the Missoula Children’s Theatre rolls into town in April this year for the eighth year in a row, brought to you by the Tehama County Arts Council.
Auditions for The Wiz of the West will be at 3:30 p.m. Monday, April 21, at Vista School Gymnasium, 1770 S. Jackson, Red Bluff.
ALL Tehama County students from kindergarten through 12th grade are encouraged to audition! About 60 students will be cast, with several more working as assistant directors. It’s free to participate — all costumes are provided.
What’s the story?
THE WIZ OF THE WEST is the the classic story of THE WIZARD OF OZ, but with a twist…or should we say, twister?!
Follow Tinhorn, Lionel, Scared Crow, Dotty and, of course, her little dog Mooch through a saga of Western adventure and personal discovery.
First they tangle with Mad Dog’s gang of bad, barkin’, back-bitin’ hounds who work for the meanest old witch in the West, Hawknose Halley. Then they encounter the brainless Buzzards and the terrifying Tarantulas.
The singin’ Coyotes help move things along while Ma and Pa Munch and the rest of the Munch Kin point out the way to Dr. Ozzy, the Wizard of Frontier Medicine. Which way is that? Why Westward, o’ course! THE WIZ OF THE WEST…a fairy tale with a twang!
When will it be performed?
Performances will be Saturday, April 26, at 3 and 7 p.m. at the State Theatre, 333 Oak St., Red Bluff. Admission is $8 adults, $6 students, and $4 children 12 and under with an adult.
