Building Hours:The Jewish Community Center of the Lehigh Valley’s Stagemakers Youth Theater invites the community to join us “somewhere over the rainbow” as our young performers bring The Wizard of Oz: Youth Edition to life on stage.
Performances will take place on Thursday, November 13 at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday, November 16 at 12:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. at the JCC, 702 N. 22nd Street, Allentown.
Featuring a talented cast of local youth, this beloved story follows Dorothy, Toto, and their friends—the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion—as they journey through Oz in search of home, courage, heart, and wisdom. With familiar songs, colorful characters, and plenty of stage magic, audiences of all ages will delight in this timeless tale.
Stagemakers Youth Theater is more than just a performance program—it’s a way for children to build confidence, learn teamwork, and connect with the community through the arts. Our creative team, led by director Gianna Neal features some new faces with Jennifer Patchen as music director and Karah Abarca and Abbey Gildner as co-choreographers. Rooted in the values of creativity, growth, and friendship, Stagemakers provides a space where every child can shine. All you need is a ticket to see them in action!
Tickets are available now at lvjcc.org/stagemakers. Seating is limited, so families are encouraged to purchase tickets early. JCC members should contact our Welcome Desk for member-only discount tickets at 610-435-3571.
In addition to the show, the community is invited to take part in our second Stagemakers Silent Auction, running November 10–16. This exciting fundraiser features opportunities to bid on exclusive tickets and VIP experiences, including late-night show tapings of The Late Show Stephen Colbert and Late Night with Seth Meyers, tickets to Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, ABC’s The View and The Drew Barrymore Show, plus one-of-a-kind Eagles memorabilia and game tickets.
Come cheer on our Stagemakers cast as they step into the spotlight and remind us all that “there’s no place like home.”
