McClure Jr. High to Present 'The Wiz'

 McClure Junior High's performance of "The Wiz" is scheduled for 7 p.m. April 12-13, in the school gym.

General seating will be on a first-come first-serve basis with doors opening at 6 p.m. Tickets will be available for a $5 donation.

Co-director Kelly Kruiswyk told The Doings Western Springs that the script was edited to include local references and to make the dialogue more age-appropriate.

The cast of 140 features all the great characters like Dorothy, the Lion, the Scarecrow and the Tinman.

“The play is really great, and it’s fun being involved in a play at school. I like other people from my class being able to see me," said student Will Foster, who plays the Tinman, in The Doings article.
