Live on Stage at The Wichita Theatre!
March 10-April 15
After a tornado whisks her away to the magical land of Oz, young Dorothy Gale teams up with a Scarecrow, a Tin Man and a Cowardly Lion to find the mighty Wizard of Oz, who can send her home.
Along the way, they must avoid the clutches of the Wicked Witch of the West, who is trying to steal the mysterious magic slippers that once belonged to her evil sister… but are now on Dorothy’s feet. Dorothy eventually learns just how magical friendship can be and how wonderful it can feel to go home again.

Erik Chandler is a singer/songwriter with over 30 years experience in the music industry, the multi-instrumentalist was a founding member of Grammy nominated Pop-Punk Veterans Bowling For Soup. After almost 25 years, Chandler parted ways with the band in 2019. With full intentions of taking some well deserved time for rest and reflection, it was not long before he began writing again, in search of a musical direction he left behind many years ago. Born and raised in Henrietta, Tx, the self proclaimed “small town misfit” spent the bulk of his career living in Denton, TX, Columbia, SC, and Dallas Tx. All the while, making his second home in the spotlight on stages all across the globe. Currently, Chandler resides in Chattanooga, TN in the foothills of Appalachia. After finally finding a permanent studio space of his own, he spent the majority of the “Covid Lockdown” defining, and refining a sound that feels true to himself. While recording songs from his new body of work, Erik took the time in the summer of 2022 to re-record an EP’s worth of previously released material from his 2016 Erik Chandler Band album THE TRUTH. Finally in the driver’s seat as producer and artist, the new recordings reveal a long time love of time honored recording techniques. Released in November ’22, The Naked Truth was conceived to make a distinction between himself and much of the major label, “copy and paste” ProTools slickness that is offered up today. While there are many electric instruments present, Chandler chose to forgo the use of electric guitars to keep in touch with the 18 months or so he spent using only his favorite Taylor acoustic. “It wasn’t done to be gimmicky, or to try to resurrect some sort of acoustic renaissance. I just found it a good way to present the songs in a new light. There is plenty of electricity on the record. Organ, mellotron, bass. It was just a way to bring these songs forward with me. Closer to the direction I’m headed now.” A full length album of new material, tentatively titled Haint Blues is slated for release later in 2023. With its own particular type of Americana, Chandler is eager to showcase his growth as a writer, artist, and producer. When asked to give a final word describing his new direction, Chandler defaults to friend and music critic Travis Randall (former contributor for SPIKE TV), ”It’s well rounded and honest. Sincere and Southern. You can tell it’s the music that he is happy to be making.”

Tickets for this show will be 7 online in advance and $10 the day of the show and at the door.

In order to make a table reservation, you must purchase an advance ticket.

Crashworks offers weekly sensory activities for toddlers and their caregivers! Each class introduces new activities. Check the calendar for each week’s theme.

Sensory play stimulates your child’s five senses while engaging them in movement and balance. It plays an essential role in brain development, helping with cognitive skills as they come to build an understanding of objects, spaces, people and interactions!

CrashWorks is a creative, exploration playground, bringing together all of the STEAM components in an educational environment by way of primarily recycled, everyday materials. Unlike other creative studios in the area, we will focus on the process rather than the product, “fostering imagination, inspiration, curiosity, discovery and problem solving”, as our mission statement says.

EVENT DETAILS

Storytime is designed for children 5 & under, but all ages are welcome to attend.

Meet at the blue carpet in the youth department for stories and songs designed to support early literacy skills and encourage a love of reading.

Afterward, move to the activity room for an arts & crafts activities tied to the stories just read.

These will be fun and great for those fine motor skills littles are working on!

Reminders: no food in the library, adults cannot leave children unattended, and strollers should stay to the back or side of the group and cannot block exits

Themes and special guests will be announced in the event discussion on Facebook

If you want to receive updates, click the learn more website link to their Facebook event and click “going”.

Additional books and pamphlets with supplemental reading, activities, and literacy tips as well as songs and rhymes will be available on the display near the train table each week for those who would like to incorporate storytimes into their home learning.

Crashworks offers weekly sensory activities for toddlers and their caregivers! Each class introduces new activities. Check the calendar for each week’s theme.

Sensory play stimulates your child’s five senses while engaging them in movement and balance. It plays an essential role in brain development, helping with cognitive skills as they come to build an understanding of objects, spaces, people and interactions!

CrashWorks is a creative, exploration playground, bringing together all of the STEAM components in an educational environment by way of primarily recycled, everyday materials. Unlike other creative studios in the area, we will focus on the process rather than the product, “fostering imagination, inspiration, curiosity, discovery and problem solving”, as our mission statement says.

EVENT DETAILS

Storytime is designed for children 5 & under, but all ages are welcome to attend.

Meet at the blue carpet in the youth department for stories and songs designed to support early literacy skills and encourage a love of reading.

Afterward, move to the activity room for an arts & crafts activities tied to the stories just read.

These will be fun and great for those fine motor skills littles are working on!

Reminders: no food in the library, adults cannot leave children unattended, and strollers should stay to the back or side of the group and cannot block exits

MAD LIBS LIVE!  is the new musical based on the most popular word game of all time!
​
Our story begins at the finals of Teen Superstars, the live TV show that will determine the most popular singing group at Blankville Central High.  Virtuosa, Gogo, Geyser, and Merrily seem to have nothing in common – until just before airtime, when they realize that their songs are missing words!

In the spirit of the “World’s Greatest Word Game,” our gang fills in the blanks with words from the audience!  This truly interactive musical changes at every performance – thanks to you!  Will GoGo get the girl?  Will Geyser make new friends?  Will Merrily come out of her shell?  Will Virtuosa get out of the spotlight?  And who will be the next Teen Superstars??
