On the 16th of July, Wilmington Academy proudly presented Wizard of Wilmington, a vibrant and heartfelt adaptation of the classic Wizard of Oz, brought to life by our talented students from the Expressive Arts course alongside additional cast members.
This unique production was truly a collaborative effort. Our students co-wrote the script, carefully selected the music, and played a central role in choreographing the dance sequences, showcasing their creativity and dedication. The stunning costumes, designed by Cire Barrie and crafted in the Hever class, added an extra layer of magic to the performance. Additionally, all publicity posters and tickets were designed and produced by our gifted young adults, highlighting the diverse talents within our community.
The performance was met with outstanding feedback from parents, carers, and the residents of Sonia’s Lodge. One proud parent shared, “I was so proud of all the students. Watching my daughter was such an amazing experience, seeing her confidence, stage skills and positivity. It is magical how happy performing makes her. A night to remember forever!”
Wizard of Wilmington was not only a showcase of remarkable talent but also a celebration of teamwork, creativity, and the joy of performance. We thank everyone involved and look forward to more inspiring productions in the future.
