A Spellbinding
Night

A huge crowd gathers at Wicked

to support JARC.

"Everyone deserves the chance to fly!" proclaimed the Wicked Witch of the
West as she levitated above the Detroit Opera House stage before a capti-
vated crowd. It just so happens that JARC believes that, too. The Farmington
Hills-based organization operates group homes and independent living
programs, enabling people with disabilities to live full, dignified lives. A
packed house of thousands filled the opera house for the group's fall fund-
raiser, a Dec. 11 performance of the Broadway musical Wicked. The show
tells the classic Oz story from the perspective of the Oz witches, set to the
music and lyrics of Stepheni Schwartz. A pre-glow dinner party was held for
young adults before the performance. "I loved the show," said Phil Okun of
Huntington Woods. "I'm glad to support such a wonderful organization."
