Mark Your Calendars for "The Wiz" in Kendallville!

[LilyNBlue]

Gaslight Playhouse Theater in Kendallville is currently in rehearsals for it's summer production of "The Wiz"!

Based on -- and updated from -- the original Broadway musical (as opposed to the 1978 movie starring Diana Ross and Michael Jackson), this family-friendly production will showcase many talented, area residents (from high school students to middle-aged adults). Performances are scheduled for June 19 through 22, at Floral Hall in the Noble County Fairgrounds.

Watch the News-Sun (or here at "The Fence Post"!) for additional information, as performance dates near.
