*Frisch Marionettes Presents Classic American Tale*

*This One-of-a-Kind Theatre Event Ideal for Students of All Ages*





An American fairy tale comes to exciting life as the Frisch Marionettes
present *The Wizard of Oz* in the Linda B. Kersker Auditorium at Firestone
High School in Akron at 10:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 22, 2014.



Celebrate America’s rich musical heritage as you travel down the Yellow
Brick Road with Dorothy to find out why a Lion, Tin Man and Straw Man are
all singing the Blues. The Frisch Marionettes of Cincinnati return to Akron
for a third consecutive year to share their magical version of *The Wizard
of Oz *and turn it into an inspiring story about unlocking the potential
that exists within each of us. This one-of-a-kind marionette show is ideal
for students in pre-school, middle school, and every age in between.

Tickets for groups of 25 or more are $3.00 if purchased before May 16,
2014. They are $4.00 for groups less than 25 if purchased before May 16,
2014. All tickets are $5.00 if purchased after May 15, 2014. Tickets for *The
Wizard of Oz *can be purchased online at BrownPaperTickets.com. A ticket
order form can be downloaded at FirestoneTheatre.com. Tickets will also be
available at the door. Firestone High School is located at 333 Rampart
Avenue, Akron, Ohio.

Drawing inspiration from the great European troupes such as the Salzburg
Marionette Theatre, Frisch endeavors to bring one of the great old-world
arts to young, contemporary imaginations. Every aspect of a Frisch
Marionette production is designed, handcrafted, created, and recorded in
their own workshops. Each and every puppet is hand carved, every costume is
sewn and custom tailored for each character. Frisch takes great pride in
our craft, but even more so in excited, twinkling eyes of wonder that
surround them at the end of each performance.


Firestone Theatre is the award-winning play-production component of the
Akron School for the Arts housed at Firestone High School. Firestone
Theatre was named an “Outstanding School” by the Educational Theatre
Association in 2013. The curricular track of Firestone Theatre is
accessible to all rising ninth-grade students via open enrollment and a
formal audition.
