The Wiz is a 1978 American musical fantasy adventure film directed by Sidney Lumet. Adapted from the 1974 Broadway musical, the film reimagines the classic children’s novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum with an African American cast. Dorothy Gale, a 24-year-old teacher from Harlem, is magically transported to the urban-fantasy Land of Oz. On her travels seeking help from the mysterious Wiz, Dorothy befriends a Scarecrow, a robot called Tin Man, and a Cowardly Lion.

This event is being cohosted by the Trustees, Codman Square Neighborhood Development Corp, and the Erie St Neighborhood.
