This Autumn sees the Cresset Arts and Theatre School’s fabulous adaptation by the Royal Shakespeare Company of Frank Baum’s classic novelThe Wizard of Oz,featuring all the beloved songs and moments from the 1939 classic film, brought to life onstage.

This year’s show is truly over the rainbow, with a cast of nearly 100 talented local actors, wonderful songs and technical wizardry in abundance! Experience this classic tale of hope, friendship and discovery and make your dreams come true!

Songs include “Over the Rainbow,” “Munchkinland (Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead),” “If I Only Had a Brain / a Heart / the Nerve,” and of course, “We’re Off to See the Wizard (Follow the Yellow Brick Road)”

Young Dorothy Gale is swept away by a tornado from her Kansas farm to the magical land of Oz where she encounters good witches, bad witches, animals that talk, scarecrows that walk, and every other thing magical to behold. Dorothy sets off along the Yellow Brick Road to see the mysterious and all-powerful Wizard in Emerald City. Along the way, she makes new friends, braves many dangers, including the Wicked Witch of the West who will stop at nothing to get her hands on Dorothy’s magical ruby slippers. To feel safe once more, Dorothy must learn an important lesson: there’s no place like home.
