Film Screening: The Wiz (1978)

About this event

Kids: 6 to 13 years, Tweens: 10 to 13 years. Join us for a "Sing-Along" at the Obama Presidential Center Branch for a magical movie night featuring The Wiz! When Dorothy, a shy young Harlem teacher, is swept away by a storm to the fantastical Land of Oz, she sets out on a dazzling journey home. Along the way, she meets a Scarecrow who longs for a brain, a Tin Man who seeks a heart, and a Cowardly Lion who seeks courage, all while following the yellow brick road to the mysterious Wiz. Bursting with unforgettable music, vibrant costumes, and show-stopping performances, The Wiz is a joyful reimagining of a beloved classic that celebrates friendship, self-discovery, and the power within us all. ©Universal Pictures | 134 minutes | Rated G Community Cinema is at a branch near you!
