Lions, Tigers and Bears...OH MY!

Melita Noël

Introduced by Lion Mac Ragsdale

Our program this week will give you the history and legacy of one of Austin’s most iconic venues, the Zilker Hillside Theatre. For over 50 years generations of Austin families have converged on the hillside to experience free live theater at their summer musical productions. You will hear about their new accessibility night, reserved for those with disabilities, and volunteer opportunities. We will also be entertained by certain surprise mystery guests playing out vignettes from this year’s blockbuster musical ‘The Wizard of Oz’. Will there be flying monkeys? Will we see Lion Peggy Brunner in her ruby slippers? We will certainly see lots of Lions, and Tigers, and Bears….oh my!
