Director's Note

This past Fall, when striking the set for our Homecoming show, Bat Boy, I mentioned casually that Scotch'n'Soda should put on The Wiz. At the time, I had no intention of directing the show, and yet once I mentioned it, I just couldn't let the idea go. I was lucky enough to team up with a very talented assistant director, choreographer, and music director. I extend my deepest thanks to Laurel, Breanna and Adam. I am so grateful to have been able to work with such a diverse and supportive staff. Throughout the process of creating this show, I believe that we have all dealt with the issues of self-discovery and a need for renewed hope that The Wiz delves into. Thank you to everyone involved in this production for working tirelessly and devotedly over the past two months. As a first-time director for a musical of this magnitude, I feel as though I have learned so much from every cast member and every member of the tech staff. From all of us, we present to you Scotch'n'Soda's Carnival production of Charlie Smalls and William F. Brown's The Wiz.
