The Wizard of Oz, Youth Edition
Before Wicked there was The Wizard of Oz, a classic tale of courage, friendship and the journey to happiness and self-discovery. Join Dorothy and her loyal companion Toto as they “Follow the Yellow Brick Road” through the Land of Oz, determined to reach the Emerald City, where the great and powerful Wizard of Oz will help them get home. Of course, along the way, Dorothy encounters witches (both good and bad), Munchkins, talking trees and winged monkeys. But most importantly, she befriends three unique characters: a Scarecrow with no brain, a Tin Man with no heart, and a Lion with no “nerve.” Their journey to happiness – and self-awareness – is a glowing testament to friendship, understanding and hope in a world filled with both beauty and ugliness.
Return to the classic that started it all in this charming production by the talented students of Theatre at the J: Everyone’s a Star.
Check out our social narrative about “What to Expect at the Theatre.”
