L. Frank Baum’s classic novel comes to life in The Wizard of Oz. Young Dorothy Gale is swept away by a cyclone from her Kansas farm to the magical land of Oz. There, she encounters a host of whimsical characters: good witches, bad witches, animals that talk, scarecrows that walk, and things magical to behold. To find her way home, she must journey along the Yellow Brick Road to see the mysterious and all-powerful Wizard in Emerald City. Along the way, she makes new friends, but must also brave many dangers, including the Wicked Witch of the West, who will stop at nothing to get her hands on Dorothy’s magical ruby slippers. To make it home safely, Dorothy must learn an important lesson: there’s no place like home.
With over 70 actors and almost 25 crew members, The Wizard of Oz is sure to be entertaining and fun for everyone!
General admission tickets will only be on sale at the door and will cost $10 for adults and $5 for children/students. Doors open 45 minutes before each show.

LEX welcomes volunteer participation in our school and fully understands the impact parent involvement makes on the education of the child. There are many opportunities in our school to actively participate in the educational program.
Per the Child Protective Services Law and Act 15 of 2015, volunteers are required to obtain background checks (PA State Police and FBI Reports) and child abuse clearances (Child Abuse History Clearance). Clearances are valid for 60 months from the date of issue and must be on file in the school's Main Office before the volunteer is approved to participate in any activities.
The volunteer requirements and the individual clearances are described in detail within the Altoona Area School District Volunteer Manual. For specific questions, please contact the building principal.
