    Thrill to talking trees, a very scary twister, beautiful technicolor, evil and good witches (including a melting one), unforgettable music, memorable characters, the Wonderful Wizard himself, and, of course, flying monkeys! Learn the back story of how this classic was filmed, and then enjoy selected film highlights. Attendees will learn some of the “tricks of the trade” that were used to make the greatest fantasy film of all time, how the film was cast, and why the sepia-toned Kansas storyline was added to the beginning and end of the film. Also, you’ll find out why “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” was almost cut for the final film! A charming and timeless classic, The Wizard of Oz still warms everyone’s heart to this day – not to be missed! 

    [A Zoom link will be sent to you prior to each session, typically on the day before your class and the morning of your class.  If you have any questions or need help getting online, feel free to call us at 516-480-5733 and we’ll get right back to you with assistance.]
