Fort Bend Christian Academy Theatre Invites Community Somewhere Over the Rainbow

---

Fort Bend Christian Academy (FBCA) theatre will perform the beloved family musical adventure, The Wizard of Oz, on April 5th at 7 pm and April 6th at 1 pm and 7 pm at the Stafford Civic Center. Theatre enthusiasts and families are invited to travel somewhere over the rainbow with Dorothy and Toto and discover that no matter how far our journeys take us, there’s no place like home.

FBCA upper school and middle school thespians will perform and sing, and a lower school student will make a cameo appearance as a munchkin.

Tickets are open to the public, and the community is invited to join students and their families for any of the three performances. Ticket information is available online at fortbendchristian.org/wizardofoz.
