SYNOPSIS
L. Frank Baum’s classic novel comes to life in 'The Wizard of Oz.' This faithful adaptation features songs from the 1939 classic film and many more. Young Dorothy Gale is swept away by a tornado from her Kansas farm to the magical land of Oz. There, she encounters a host of whimsical characters: good witches, bad witches, animals that talk, scarecrows that walk, and things magical to behold. To find her way home, she must journey along the Yellow Brick Road to see the mysterious and all-powerful Wizard in Emerald City. Along the way, she makes new friends, but must also brave 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 make it home safely, Dorothy must learn an important lesson: there’s no place like home.

We are looking to cast up to 50 current Kindergarten to 4th graders. Unfortunately, if you are cast as a Munchkin you will be unable to audition for our Children's summer production (This will only affect students in 4th grade). We will split the 50 Munchkins into 2 casts that will rehearse and perform on an alternating schedule. Rehearsal schedule will be set once everyone's conflicts are known. There will be approximately 4 after school rehearsals in May, followed by a few in early June with more frequent evening rehearsals beginning in late June through opening in July.
