The John Gray High School Drama and Music Departments prepare for The Wizard of Oz musical by The Royal Shakespeare Company in February 2024. Introducing workshop activities before auditions in September, the production aims to engage students in various roles—performing, orchestral, technical, and more—offering a rare chance for artistic and professional growth. With a focus on providing a “world-class” theatrical experience, the project aims to boost student confidence, encourage collaboration, and nurture the potential of Cayman’s budding performers, many of whom are new to musical theatre, fostering their development outside their comfort zones.

Being John Gray High School’s first schoolwide drama production in many years, this project will also incorporate workshop activities based on characterization, song and dance prior to an audition process beginning September, and a final showcase throughout the month of February 2024.

The production will be open to all students with opportunities to perform, play in the orchestra or be a part of technical, backstage, or front of house teams.
