Our Quincy Jones tribute series wraps up with a magical outdoor screening of The Wiz! Grab your picnic blankets, spread out on the lawn, and enjoy this beloved reimagining of The Wizard of Oz, filled with dazzling visuals, timeless performances, and an iconic soundtrack that showcases Jones’ musical brilliance.
Before the show, come dressed in your Emerald City best and join our all-ages costume parade, where we’ll pick a favorite adult and children’s costume inspired by The Wiz! Plus, enjoy a DJ set by April Hunt and a panel discussion with Schele Williams (Broadway director and author) and Bobby Wooten III (musician and producer), moderated by Dylan Green, Hearing Things co-founder and creator of the Reel Notes podcast.
