ABOUT THE SHOW

This story is as familiar as it is beloved. That nasty tornado carries Dorothy and her canine pal Toto from the friendly confines of her Kansas home to a fabled fantasy of mystery in the land of Oz. Our story begins with the Illusionists who set the scene for the tale you are about to witness. With the help of the Munchkins and Glinda herself, the young Miss Gale and her loyal pooch join forces with the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and, of course, the Cowardly Lion. Off they go down the Yellow Brick Road- side-stepping a Wicked Witch and her ferocious Kalidahs, flowers that are far nicer-looking than they act, and the loyal Green Guard- on their perilous journey to find the Wizard and ask for his help. They are sure his Wizness will grant their wishes and send Dorothy and Toto back to their home- or will he? We’ll never tell. Come see for yourself.
