at MTC School - Spring 2027

register now!

Grades 2-8

ANY ACTOR CAN BE CAST AS ANY ROLE REGARDLESS OF GENDER

SYNOPSIS:
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.

SHOW DETAILS:
The show will be directed by Deb Levy with Music Direction & Choreography by Elissa DeMaria.
