ROKCincy Opera Brings THE WIZARD OF OZ’s Yellow Brick Road to the Arts Center at Dunham’s Free Family Fun Series

ACAD_The Wizard of Oz logoCINCINNATI, OH – March 22, 2016 — The Free Family Fun Series at the Arts Center at Dunham welcomes Dorothy, Toto and all the magical Oz characters for ROKCincy Opera for Children’s performance of THE WIZARD OF OZ on Saturday, April 2 at 2 p.m.

Using the beloved and familiar story written by Frank Baum and made famous by the 1939 film, ROKCincy has added operatic classics to enhance the drama and retell the tale as only they can. The 40 minute performance includes a question and answer session with the cast. ROKCincy is a non-profit program with a mission to introduce young people to the thrill of live, fully staged opera and to give developing professional musicians an opportunity to hone their performance skills through experience.

“The Free Family Fun Series at the Arts Center at Dunham is a big success and enables families to experience the performing arts especially designed for children,” said Carrie Mees, who supports programming at the Arts Center at Dunham.

After THE WIZARD OF OZ, the remaining Free Family Fun Series performance is The Garden of Rikki Tikki Tavi by Y York and performed by the Playhouse in the Park’s Off the Hill Productions on Saturday, April 23 at 2 pm. Courtesy of a grant from Price Hill Arts CAT. Rudyard Kipling’s beloved classic comes alive in this fun, free-flowing adaptation. The bossy bird Darzee is furious when Rikki Tikki Tavi washes up in her garden. With the dimwitted muskrat Chuchu, she pulls out all of the stops to convince the pesky young mongoose to leave. That is until they see that the tyrannical cobra Nag runs in fear of Rikki Tikki Tavi. Ultimately, the three must band together to save their home in this delightful comedy about sharing and cooperation. Recommended for ages 5 and up.

Reservations for all performances in the ACAD FREE Family Fun Series can be made online (www.sunsetplayers.org), or by calling the reservation/information line at 513-588-4988.

The Arts Center at Dunham is a fine arts center for the west side of Cincinnati and its vision is to provide affordable creative and performing arts for Price Hill and surrounding communities.
