Quality Life Center would like to thank the community for its overwhelming support of its Youth Masterpiece production of The Wiz Meets The Wizard of Oz. Because "The Q" received a high volume of interest in its July 31st Youth Masterpiece production, the organization chose to meet the public’s demand by presenting an encore performance on August 1, 2014.
Over 500 people attended the lively mash-up of the classic movies, The Wizard of Oz and The Wiz. Positive feedback continues to buzz around town as people rave about the talent showcased by Q children ages 2 to 17. Check out the ballet, "Lollipop", jazz and even disco dances!
The organization prides itself on the inclusion of each summer camp participant, with Director of Youth Programs Keesha Allen explaining that the show is a manifestation of the organization’s commitment to community.
“Every Q child and staff member was an active part of making this production a success. It is truly a reflection of the power a community holds when it is united in attaining the same goal.”
Quality Life Center would like to thank Mr. Charles Dailey and the Dunbar
Community School staff, Mayor Randy Henderson & the City of Fort Myers, Judge Archie Hayward, Judge Josephine Gagliardi, Fort Myers Police Department Chief Doug Baker, Florida Gulf Coast University, Hodges University, CommunityTV1 and the many parents, volunteers & community members who attended the show, which ultimately led to a standing-room onlyaudience and a second show.
