Red Lion presents “The Wiz” by Charlie Smalls and William F. Brown at Greenbo Lake State Park Amphitheatre tonight through Sunday starting at 8:30 nightly.

“The Wiz” is a vibrant telling of L. Frank Baum’s “The Wizard of Oz,” with a few twists. In this tale, Oz is a world full of munchkins, kahlidahs, poppies, ozians, winkies, witches (both good and evil), and the wizard. The play stars Kameron Stambaugh as Dorothy, Kory Helmick as the Scarecrow, Tad Barker as the Tinman, Roger Hagley as the Lion, and Drew Adams as the Wiz.

Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for students and seniors.
