Come support our children’s theatre group led by Diva Works Entertainment for their contemporary reproduction of The Wiz. An adaptation of the groundbreaking Broadway musical — itself a retelling of L. Frank Baum’s classic 1900 children’s fantasy “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.” About "The Wiz": Over forty years after its original release, no film has uniquely defined black culture and shaped the framework of a musical genre quite like "The Wiz." For a generation of black Americans, this was the first time they saw people who spoke, and moved the way they did in a Broadway production and, later, a big-screen musical, and it has become a kind of rite of passage for the black community. "The Wiz," weaved together gospel, blues, soul and R&B — genres that are unequivocally black creations — and were narratives of the black experience.

San Diego Repertory Theatre (San Diego REP) is proud to announce the upcoming production of "The Great Khan"! About the play: Jayden, an African American teenager, just wants to be his game-playing, nerdy self. But after he saves a girl, Ant, from an assault by a gang of boys, he and his mother are forced to move to keep him safe from those who attacked her. While Jayden debates with himself if he should toughen up, Ant tries to reject the tough Black girl persona she has adopted. Both are trying to figure out how to define themselves in a culture that insists on seeing them as forever dangerous. Oh, and then Genghis Khan shows up.
