In a new adaptation celebrating the original novel, “The Wizard of Oz” is full of whimsy, humor, and suspense. After being swept up in a midwestern cyclone, Dorothy lands in the magical Oz. With Scarecrow, Tinman, and a Lion, Dorothy embarks on a journey through Oz’s many kingdoms in search of a way back to Kansas. On their adventure, Dorothy and her new friends learn about themselves and what being home means. Witches, mice, and kalidahs … oh my.
The Paso Robles Youth Arts Center production of “The Wizard of Oz” is a new adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s classic novel, written by Amanda Thayer, directed by Claire Edmonds, featuring lighting design by Ryan Flores.
