A beloved Broadway gem, "The Wiz" infuses L. Frank Baum’s "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" with a dazzling mix of rock, gospel and soul music. This timeless tale of Dorothy’s adventures through the Land of Oz is a fun, family-friendly, modern musical.

The Wiz

Kent State University

Join us for this delightfully goofy reincarnation of four male singers who didn’t quite make it to their first big concert. Miraculously, they’ve come back to life for a revival, serving up some of the great nostalgic pop hits of the 1950s.

Forever Plaid

Wells-Metz Theater

A gripping and electrifying play that reimagines the night before Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination. It’s April 3, 1968, and after delivering his most memorable speech, an exhausted Dr. King retires to his room at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis. The Mountaintop is a surrealistic fantasy about a chance encounter between King and a mysterious hotel maid who brings him a cup of coffee and prompts him to confront his life, his past, his legacy and the plight and future of his people.
