L. Frank Baum’s classic novel comes to life in The Wizard of Oz. This faithful adaptation by the Levoy Theatre features all the most beloved songs and moments from the 1939 classic film, brought to life onstage. Young Dorothy Gale is swept away by a tornado from her Kansas farm to the magical land of Oz. There, she encounters a host of whimsical characters: good witches, bad witches, animals that talk, scarecrows that walk, and things magical to behold. To find her way home, she must journey along the Yellow Brick Road to see the mysterious and all-powerful Wizard in Emerald City. Along the way, she makes new friends, but must also brave many dangers, including the Wicked Witch of the West, who will stop at nothing to get her hands on Dorothy’s magical ruby slippers. To make it home safely, Dorothy must learn an important lesson: there’s no place like home. THE WIZARD OF OZ is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Tams-Witmark LLC. www.concordtheatricals.com

We invite you to witness a natural phenomenon. The staging of purple martins happens each year in August before the birds’ southbound migration. It is speculated that the Wild and Scenic Maurice River hosts one of the largest staging sites of purple martins East of the Mississippi. Each evening at sunset, 100,000s of birds gather, murmur, and dive down into the reeds where they overnight. Join us for this cruise on the federally designated Wild and Scenic Maurice River aboard the Bonanza II. Interpretation of this natural occurrence will be offered by CU Maurice River’s team of naturalists. A selection of desserts, light snacks, and soft drinks will be provided. Price - $65 Dates – August 14, 15, 16, 17 Time – 6:00 p.m. Where – Port Norris, NJ RSVP Required – CUMauriceRiver.org/event-payments
