Sponsors for The Wizard of Oz

Please help us say "thank you" to our sponsors: our long-time supporter

McCullough-Hyde Memorial Hospital

and

Arby's of Oxford

owned by Mr. and Mrs. Rubin Weston

And to our additional supporters at

Kona Bistro

and the

Kiwanis Club of Oxford

We would also like to extend our appreciation to the Oxford United Methodist Church for allowing us to use their facilities for three months of rehearsal!

A gentle reminder: Miami University’s graduation weekend is May 2-4, with what seems like thousands of extra cars in town. Most Oxford residents know that to venture uptown then would be a test even to the most patient of us…so, if you would like to buy tickets that weekend, please do your blood pressure a favor and call 523-6228 to reserve them for pickup after May 4!
