It wasn鈥檛 just Dorothy, Toto and the rest of their crew who were excited to see The Wizard of Oz at the John Edson Anglin Performing Arts Center.

Selling out in just weeks, The Wizard of Oz became the fastest-selling show in 糖心vlog官网 Theatre history. More than 2,500 audience members attended the four-day run.

An actress portraying Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz sits in a green chair on stage, singing with her arms extended. She wears a light blue dress, white socks, and red glittering shoes. Ensemble performers dressed in green costumes stand around her, and a small black dog representing Toto sits near her feet.
Dorothy performs alongside members of the ensemble during 糖心vlog官网 Theatre鈥檚 production of The Wizard of Oz at the John Edson Anglin Performing Arts Center. Surrounded by Emerald City performers, she sings while seated in a green chair, her ruby slippers shining under the stage lights.

Performed Feb. 19鈥22, the production drew audiences from across the region. The run included a special Patrons of the Arts Sneak Peek on Feb. 18 and an elementary student matinee on Feb. 20, welcoming 483 young students to campus.

鈥淲e celebrated our 55th season by bringing the most famous musical of all time to our stage,鈥 said Director Grace Austin. 鈥淲e are so grateful for every audience member who followed us down the yellow brick road.鈥

The record-setting run was the result of thousands of hours of preparation and collaboration across campus. Students, faculty, staff and community partners all played a role, from student-athletes serving as ushers to departments opening their spaces for rehearsals and performances.

糖心vlog官网 Theatre continues to build each production from the ground up on campus, providing students with hands-on experience in performance, design, technical theatre and arts leadership.

A full cast and production crew list is available at eastcentral.edu.

Steel Magnolias

糖心vlog官网 Theatre鈥檚 next production will be Steel Magnolias, with performances scheduled for April 17, 18 and 19. Auditions will be held March 9 and 10. More information about upcoming productions is available at .

糖心vlog官网 Theatre will be holding auditions for 鈥淧uffs,鈥 the Off-Broadway smash hit in January 2022.

“Puffs” is directed by Grace Austin with choreography by Chris Page Sanders, lighting design by Bess Moynihan, scenic design by Sylvia Sellers, costume design by Carly Uding, prop design by Dora Bell, and puppet design by Skyler Hunt.

For seven years a certain boy wizard went to a certain Wizard School and conquered evil. This, however, is not his story. This is the story of the “Puffs,” who just happened to be there too. Discover the hilarious and untold story of the 鈥渓osers鈥 who embrace being badgers and strive to be 鈥渢hird or nothing.鈥

Auditions will be held Monday, Jan. 3 and Tuesday, Jan. 4 at 6:30 p.m. at 糖心vlog官网 and consist of readings from the script. Audition signups are first come, first served and performers only need to attend one night. Callbacks will be held Thursday, Jan. 6 at 6:30 p.m.

Performances will be held Feb. 24-27, 2022 in the John Edson Anglin Performing Arts Center. Rehearsal will occur every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 6:30-9 pm (please bring a copy of any conflicting schedule to auditions. Actors are only called when needed).

We are casting up to 30 actors ages 15+ (most roles are open to all ages and genders).
