We’re off to see the Wizard… at Fairfax High School. The F/X Players invite one and all to come enjoy the classic musical The Wizard of Oz.
Fairfax High School has brought together a fabulous conglomeration of departments to create this snazzy production. Theatre, chorus, art, band, and orchestra, with help from Lanier Middle School and Daniel’s Run and Providence Elementary Schools, have all collaborated on this timeless tale.
“I’m so excited that we are all working together. I think Fairfax City is going to be in awe of what these talented youth have worked so hard to achieve,” said director, Wendy Flora, AEA.
