Ada HS spring musical will lead down the Yellow Brick Road

We don’t know if Justin England has ever been to Kansas, but he and the Ada High School cast of “The Wizard of Oz” plan a trip there in May. They will take you with them.

This spring’s Ada HS musical is “The Wizard of Oz.” Justin, an Ada junior, was recently cast in the role of the wizard. No, the production won’t be performed in the State of Kansas  –  you’ll have to pretend that  – instead it will be in the Ada school auditorium.

This is Justin’s third role in an Ada  HS drama production. He was a member of the cast of “Lagoon” as an eighth grader and “A Haunting We Will Go,” as a sophomore.

We're off to see the wizard...

Justin England, Ada High School junior, has many talents. A new talent that he will develop this spring is to become a wizard. He recently was cast in the role of the wizard in the AHS music department's production of "The Wizard of Oz." The show will be presented May 3, 4 and 5.
