The Wizard of Oz

June 26-Aug. 2

Everybody's favorite fantasy musical! From Kansas to "Over the Rainbow," four friends: the Cowardly Lion, Tinman, Scarecrow, and Dorothy (with Toto, too!) find the Emerald City as they "Follow the Yellow Brick Road." With the music you know and love.

Perfect for all ages.

This production is based on the movie version of the musical. Characters from the movie are present. We will make every attempt to tone the scary elements of the story down in order to make it appropriate and enjoyable for young audiences.

Run time is 83 minutes.
