Program Description

Description

Join us for a lively discussion about legends and mythology!  Our book for January is Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire, the novel on which the Tony Award winning Broadway show and the movies are based.  Elphaba, the girl who will become the Wicked Witch, is born with emerald green skin in the fantastical land of Oz.  Elphaba grows up and enters Shiz University, but the Wizard’s secret police are everywhere, while the Animals, creatures with voices, souls, and minds, are oppressed; and Elphaba sets out on a path of danger to help them.  Order your copy from a bookseller like Allstora.com or similar, and come to the meeting with questions, comments, observations, or just have a copy of the book with you! No pressure, and a good time learning about mythology is guaranteed!
