STORYLINE
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.
DEADLINE TO REGISTER IS FRIDAY, MAY 29th!
Students will be working on a production, both on stage and behind the scenes, culminating in a final performance on Friday, July 31st and Saturday, August 1st. Auditions will take place on the first day of the program (students will not need to prepare anything).
