Late Nite Catechism
7:30pm @
Pruis Hall, Ball State University
1000 N McKinley Ave, Muncie, IN 47306
Cost: $49 Late Nite Catechism is an uproariously funny play that takes the audience back to their youth. The irrepressible Sister teaches class to a roomful of "students." Throughout the course of the class the benevolent instructor rewards the "students" for correct answers with glow-in-the-dark rosaries and other nifty prizes. Naughty students may well find themselves on stage sitting in a corner reflecting their actions. However, even the most reluctant "students" will be clamoring to get into this Sister's class. The New York Times calls Late Nite Catechism “interactive theater at its best and full of laughs!”

The Wiz
7:30pm @
Emens Auditorium, Ball State University
1800 W Riverside Ave
Cost: Tickets start at $39, Youth tickets start at $22 Ages: 8+ Everybody look around! The Tony Award®-winning Best Musical that took the world by storm is back and coming to Muncie!
THE WIZ returns “home” to stages across America in an all-new tour, direct from Broadway.
The Baltimore Sun raves “Powerhouse performances. Stunning choreography. Visionary sets” and the Chicago Sun-Times proclaims THE WIZ is “An eye-popping and high-intensity revival!”
This groundbreaking twist on The Wizard of Oz changed the face of Broadway—from its iconic score packed with soul, gospel, rock, and 70s funk to its stirring tale of Dorothy’s journey to find her place in a contemporary world.
Based on L. Frank Baum’s children’s book, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”, The Wiz takes one of the world’s most enduring (and enduringly white) American fantasies and transforms it into an all-Black musical extravaganza for the ages.
THE WIZ premiered on Broadway in 1975 and became an instant sensation, going on to win seven Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Original Score, Best Featured Actor in a Musical (Ted Ross), Best Featured Actress in a Musical (Dee Dee Bridgewater), Best Choreography (George Faison), and in a Broadway first, Best Direction of a Musical and Best Costume Design (Geoffrey Holder). “Ease on Down the Road” became the show’s break-out single, and “Home” has since become a bona fide classic. That original production ran for four years (first at The Majestic Theatre and later at The Broadway Theatre) – and 1,672 performances – on Broadway. A 1978 film adaptation starred Diana Ross, Ted Ross, Mabel King, Richard Pryor and Lena Horne, and marked Quincy Jones’ first collaboration with Michael Jackson.
Audience Advisory
THE WIZ is recommended for ages 8+.
THE WIZ runs approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes, including intermission.
This production uses haze, smoke and flashing lights.Tickets go on sale Friday, August 7 at 10 a.m. Get tickets here: https://www.ticketmaster.com/emens-auditorium-tickets-muncie/venue/41132
