A talented cast and orchestra is preparing for the 18th annual production of the all-county musical.

The 1939 classic "Wizard of Oz" will bring performers and families together for a performance by student actors and musicians from across the district.

Eva Taylor, junior at Eisenhower High School, said she's glad to have taken the chance to try out for the show and it has been a great experience so far, spending time with friends and making new ones.

"I'm very excited to see the end result of all our hard work because everyone's been working so hard to make this show memorable and we just want everyone to have fun while watching the show," Taylor said.

Warren Area High school senior, Charles Jones said, "I can say, there were a few luxuries went with the role, from playing Con man, to thundering my voice off stage, it’s been amazing being able to do that, but I’m even more excited to have watched the four mains prep for the show, each one of them has flare that they bring to their scenes, I’m a lucky man to be working with such talented people," said Jones, who will play "The Great Oz."

Among the song list, audiences will enjoy "Over the Rainbow," "Follow the Yellow Brick Road," and "We're Off to See the Wizard." Students will perform four times: Thursday, March 12, at 7 p.m. at Warren Area High School; 7 p.m. Friday, March 13; and 2 and 7 p.m. Saturday, March 14.
