So much happened before Dorothy dropped in.

Wicked, Greenville’s most ‘popular’ musical, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another young woman, born with emerald-green skin — smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.”

From the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment, Wicked — the untold true story of the Witches of Oz — transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story that USA Today cheers is “a complete triumph! An original musical that will make you laugh, cry, and think.”

3rd – 5th Grades
Weekly Zoom class, one 20-minute private lesson
Instructors: Anna Kimmell, Matthew Glover

This online theatrical experience is an adaptation of the original script that allows the production to take place on Zoom. Nguyen, a screenwriter and co-founder of the Vampire Cowboys Theatre Company of New York City, saw a need for theatre in the time of quarantine and re-wrote the play to accommodate social distancing.
The plot centers around the character of Agnes Evans, an average girl, whose life takes an unexpected turn when her Dungeons and Dragons-loving younger sister Tilly tragically dies in a car accident. When Agnes finds Tilly’s Dungeons and Dragons notebook, she sets out on an adventure she never saw coming.

The cast includes returning performers Olly Taylor and Adrian Gonzalez taking on the role
of Chuck Biggs; theatre major Remy Fifield and Hendersonville High School student
Ashlie Hanke playing Tilly; and theatre major Sarah Freeman and IC Imagine student
Jayna Gerber portraying Agnes. Other appearances include local homeschooler Mary
Treadway as Demon Queen Lilith Morningstar; Blue Ridge theatre majors Logan Justice
and Colton Putnam as Orcus; and even some remote Iowan performers Bri Stoever and
Alex Foote as Kaliope Darkwalker.
The tech team includes stage manager Chloe Hallman; assistant stage manager Alex
Farrell; production designer Courtney Creasman; Zoom liaison Aidoneus Walton; and
director Jennifer Treadway.
