Teen Actors’ Workshop Production – Grades 8*-on…

The natural successor to last year's very successful production of Godspell at the Historic Salem Courthouse, this year's Fort Salem Teen Actors' Workshop once again brings together the directorial skills of Mary Skelly with the choreography of Susi Trombley. Their team is rounded out with new musical director David Turner, who provides similar services at Trinity School in New York City, and performs in the Fort Salem Cabaret as singer/songwriter Johnny Hancock. Together, they will be recreating The Wiz, the rock version of L. Frank Baum’s Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The set will be designed in the comic book style of Salem artist Dave O'Keefe.
