While recent tales have reimagined the origins of the witches of Oz, we return to the classic story of Dorthy and Toto. We invite you to join her and her band of whimsical friends that she meets along the way to see The Wizard of Oz. Taking the stage this fall, Oz is a world of upcycling - where audiences of all ages are invited to share in the magic that comes from transforming ordinary things around us into something extraordinary! Rediscover the wonder, music, and nostalgia of the original Yellow Brick Road adventure with singing, children, and trash...oh my!

Recommended for ages +5

Content Advisories: Mild fantasy peril and brief moments of fright, depictions of a witch and magical creatures, stylized fantasy violence.
