The Wizard of Oz FLIES into the Brand New Centinela Valley Center for the Arts

Encore Entertainers presents The Wizard of Oz at Centinela Valley Center for the Arts, 14901 South Inglewood Avenue, Lawndale. Performances are January 13 & 14 at 7:30pm and January 14 & 15 at 2:00pm. Don’t miss your opportunity to travel “Over the Rainbow” and see one of the greatest and most beloved musicals of all time! Join us as Dorothy journeys through Oz with the Scarecrow, Tinman, Lion, and Toto, too!  

Encore is pulling out all the stops for this production and has hired a professional, broadway flying company.  This means audience members are sure to be “tickled pink” when Glinda arrives in Munchkinland in her giant, pink bubble.  It will surely be thrilling for all when Dorothy gets swept up in the tornado, the Wicked Witch flies menacingly on her broomstick, and the Flying Monkeys soar overhead! This fabulous show is being presented in the brand new, state-of-the-art Centinela Valley Center for the Arts. This building has been years in the making and Encore is thrilled to be performing in such an amazing space! Audience members of all ages are sure to love this classic story about the true meaning of home.

Encore Entertainers is a 501(c)3 non-profit youth theater company that strives to educate children in all aspects of the performing arts. While teaching our students to sing, dance, and act on stage in front of a live audience, we are actually teaching them much greater life lessons.  Through the arts, children learn to work with others to accomplish a larger goal, how to be part of a team, and to express themselves in ways that they perhaps thought they never could.
