Cutetropolis Culture Calendar

This weekend the Cutetropolis Players are pleased to debut their performance of The Wizard of Poz, the magical story of a farm cat who encounters a man with no brain, another with no heart, and a lion with no courage, and decides they’re all just dead weight and goes to see the Wizard by herself.
