Schuster Performing Arts CenterBefore the Wicked Witch of the West started chasing Dorothy for those ruby red slippers, she was busy trying to do good for the land of Oz.  Yes, you heard me correctly.  Elphaba, a.k.a. The Wicked Witch was merely a student at a school for wizardry when she was labeled “wicked”.  You may wonder how, but that is going to be something you will have to find out when you come to the Schuster Center to see Wicked, the Tony Award-winning musical about the infamous Witches of Oz.
