Cooper High School Presents The Wiz
 Don't miss the classic musical that put an urban spin on The Wizard of Oz. The Broadway production, opening in the mid-70s, won seven Tony Awards, including best musical. The movie, released in 1978 and starring Michael Jackson and Diana Ross, was nominated for four Oscars. The story is familiar, and the music is fantastic.
Show dates are Feb. 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23 at 7:00 p.m., and Feb. 16 at 2:00 p.m. There will also be a senior citizen matinee on Feb. 13 at 3:30. (Yes, it would be a great Valentine's Day activity!)
