Film Screening: The Wiz (1978)

The Obama Presidential Center hosts a Saturday afternoon sing-along screening of *The Wiz* (1978), the Motown-infused reimagining of *The Wizard of Oz* set in a fantastical New York City. The 134-minute film, rated G, follows Dorothy—a shy Harlem schoolteacher—as she travels the yellow brick road with a Scarecrow, a Tin Man, and a Cowardly Lion. Registration opens one day before the August 8 event; a parent or guardian’s email is required for attendees under 13.
