The Wonderful Wizard of Oz - By Tim Kelly
Directed by Catherine and Elizabeth Kananghinis
Based on the book by L. Frank Baum

 

A young Kansas girl named Dorothy and her dog Toto are whisked away by a cyclone to the magical land of Oz, where they meet a wide array of strange characters… a talking scarecrow that wishes for a brain, a tin woodsman that wishes for a heart, and a cowardly lion that wishes for courage. To have their wishes granted by the all-powerful Wizard of Oz, they must first defeat the Wicked Witch of the West, who is determined to destroy Dorothy and steal her magical ruby slippers.

 

The play is filled with wonderful stage thrills, and plenty of witty and funny conversations between characters.

Auditions will be held at the theater (108 Oxford Terrace, Epuni) on Sunday 21st April, from 1-3pm. Extra auditions for those who can’t make it will be on Monday 22nd April 5pm.
