Events › Film Screening: The Wiz (1978)

Join us at the Thurgood Marshall branch for a magical movie night featuring The Wiz!

When Dorothy, a shy young teacher from Harlem, is swept away by a storm to the fantastical Land of Oz, she sets off on a dazzling journey to find her way home. Along the way, she meets a Scarecrow who longs for a brain, a Tin Man searching for a heart, and a Cowardly Lion who wants courage all while following the yellow brick road to the mysterious Wiz.

Bursting with unforgettable music, vibrant costumes, and show-stopping performances, The Wiz is a joyful reimagining of a beloved classic that celebrates friendship, self-discovery, and the power within us all.
