Celebrate Black excellence this February! Adapted from the 1974 Tony Award-winning Broadway musical of the same name, The Wiz is a musical fantasy which reimagines The Wizard of Oz. Featuring an all-black cast and incredible soundtrack featuring soul, R&B, and pop influences, The Wiz explores Black American culture in the 1970s. This is a sing-along event; lyrics will be projected onto the screen during the film. Costumes and theatrical attire encouraged!   

When Harlem schoolteacher Dorothy (Diana Ross) tries to save her dog from a storm, she's miraculously whisked away to an urban fantasy land called Oz. After accidentally killing the Wicked Witch of the East upon her arrival, Dorothy is told about the Wiz (Richard Pryor), a wizard who can help her get back to Manhattan. As Dorothy goes in search of the Wiz, she's joined by the Scarecrow (Michael Jackson), the Tin Man (Nipsey Russell) and the Cowardly Lion (Ted Ross).
