Wizard of Oz: Youth Edition (Ages 8-18)
September 11 - November 3
Tuition: $235

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.

The Wizard of Oz: Youth Edition is a one-hour adaptation of The Wizard of Oz, specially tailored for youth and teen actors. There is a performance fee associated with this program - scholarships and financial aid are available to any performers who may need the support!
