The Discovery Center is dedicated to expanding opportunities for youth in Johnson and Sheridan counties, as well as neighboring areas, to engage with and appreciate the arts. Our goal is to foster their personal growth, build self-esteem, and provide a fun environment where their creativity can thrive. As an educational youth theater, we make learning enjoyable and produce three shows each year. True to our mission, every individual who auditions is guaranteed a role in the production—ensuring that no one is turned away. This experience allows students to explore the world of theater while also building their resumes for college and future endeavors.

The Wizard of Oz Auditions
Step into the magic of The Wizard of Oz, the beloved musical featuring songs from the classic 1939 Judy Garland film. Audiences will journey down the Yellow Brick Road with Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion, singing favorites like “Over the Rainbow” and “Follow the Yellow Brick Road.” This timeless story of courage, friendship, and home is brought to life with dazzling music, amazing sets, remarkable costumes, and unforgettable characters — all on the giant Bomber Mountain Stage.
Our Directorial Team
The Wizard of Oz under the guidance of our talented directorial team: Marie Verger, Judith Willis, Josh Davies, and Courtnee Wampole together, bring extensive experience in artistic direction, technical production, performance, and youth mentorship. Their combined vision ensures dazzling music, amazing sets, remarkable costumes, and unforgettable characters come to life on the Bomber Mountain Stage. With their leadership, this timeless story of courage, friendship, and home will shine brighter than ever, offering young performers an inspiring and professional theater experience.
Everyone ages 5 through 17 is invited to audition — no experience necessary to perform. Guest artists up to age 20 may audition by invitation only.
