After a tornado hurls through Kansas, Dorothy Gale and her dog, Toto, are swept away from their home to the colorful and vibrant Land of Oz. In order to find their way back home, they must embark on a journey to the Emerald City, where the Wizard of Oz resides. On the way, they are accompanied by a Scarecrow who wants a brain, a Tin Man who wants a heart, and a Cowardly Lion who wants courage. They are hopeful that the Wizard will be able to fulfill their wishes, but not far behind them is the Wicked Witch of the West, who is out for revenge on Dorothy.

The Drama Association of Springfield Township Middle School serves to provide a creative outlet for the students onstage and technical crew. The STMSDA is open to all students in grades 6, 7, & 8.  

Throughout the year there are workshops offered to enable students to take part in an introduction to acting, musical theatre, improvisation, choreography, and stage crew. Students also partake in auditions and rehearsals to prepare for two final performances, a fall drama production, and a spring musical; the culmination of all of their work throughout the year.

The mission of the STMS Drama Program is to foster a sense of community. Provide opportunities for growth within each individual student. Immerse students in the performing arts. Build confidence, goals setting, and leadership development. Attributes that will follow them through school, and their future.
