"Pay no attention to the team behind the curtain!"
Actually, we want you to pay all the attention to them! While our actors are shining in the spotlight, our incredible student tech crew is running the entire show from the wings of Parcells Middle School.
From the Stage Managers calling every cue to the crew members moving massive sets in total darkness, these students are the engine that makes the "Wizard of Oz" possible. Whether they are part of the Emerald or Ruby performances, they are proving that it takes more than just a wand to make magic happen—it takes hard work, precision, and a whole lot of heart. 🛠️❤️
Running the show from March 13–22, our crew is ready to transport you from Kansas to Oz and back again!
Let’s hear it for the crew! 👏 Drop a 🛠️ or a ⚡ in the comments to show some love for the students who make the show run, and tag a "techie" you're proud of!
