Pay no attention to the singing behind the curtain!
“Weeee’re off to see the Wizard…” If you kept singing the rest of that tune after reading that, then we have an event for you. As part of its monthly Free Musical Movie Night, the Children’s Theatre Workshop will host a special singalong screening of the 1939 family classic The Wizard of Oz on Friday, May 6. The film will be screened in a social environment, so feel free to talk and sing as the beloved story rolls! Admission is free, though donations are accepted and pizza will be served to anyone who reserves a dinner through the Workshop website. 6pm. Ohio Theatre,
3112 Lagrange St. 419-244-5061. ctwtoledo.org/sing-a-long-movies
