Our 2023 production is all about shining light on some of the most popular musicals performed on Broadway. Frank Baum’s classic novel comes to life in The Wizard of Oz. This faithful adaptation by the Royal Shakespeare Company features all the most beloved songs and moments from the 1939 classic film, brought to life onstage. Young Dorothy Gale is swept away by a tornado from her Kansas farm to the magical land of Oz. There, she encounters a host of whimsical characters: good witches, bad witches, animals that talk, scarecrows that walk, and things magical to behold. To find her way home, she must journey along the Yellow Brick Road to see the mysterious and all-powerful Wizard in Emerald City. Along the way, she makes new friends, but must also brave many dangers, including the Wicked Witch of the West, who will stop at nothing to get her hands on Dorothy’s magical ruby slippers. To make it home safely, Dorothy must learn an important lesson: there’s no place like home

Mrs. Destinee Webb is the director of both choral and drama programs at Pendleton High School. The students normally join both musical drama and choir class if they have a huge interest with musical theater. Students still can choose to focus on developing their skills in either sections. Overall, the students enjoy to incorporate the fun styles of singing along with the passion for acting and future possibilities in the Arts field. We look to grow our students with the knowledge as an actor or singer to be able to take on the world by storm! There is a lot of talent in the small town of Pendleton, SC and we wish to show this talent in the best way possible!
