Review by Frances Johnson, First Presbyterian Church, Orlando, Fla. Oz was our first show performed mainly for underprivileged children's audiences and it was indeed a "rousing" success! The children wrote us many cute letters on how they loved Dorothy, the other characters and especially how they got to be trees." "Our church is just beginning a theatre ministry under my leadership and promotion. Review by Carey Cahoon, Palace Professional Theatre for Children, Manchester, NH The audience responded so well, we will probably do this show again next year! Wonderful participation." "Our most popular show of the summer season. Susan Steadman, Offshoot Productions, Peachtree City, GA The children in the audience gave themselves wholeheartedly to the event." Review by Allison McCall, Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine, Portland, Maine Being able to help Dorothy and play a role was a special experience that helped make this story more accessible to young audiences." We were able to give our young actors important training on inviting and controlling participation, and the children in our audiences loved being the munchkins. If required the roles of Uncle Henry, the Wizard and Aunty Em, Glinda could be cast individually."This interactive play was a great fit for our small theatre and with our "For Kids, By Kids" theatre mission.

Shout, sing and laugh along as Dorothy's adventure unfolds 'over the rainbow!' Join in the fun with our merry band in the land of Oz. Will anyone know how to help Dorothy to find her way back home? Things don't look good for them but in the spirit of pantomime, goodness and true friendship will always win in the end! 'Oh yes it will!' Will Scarecrow be clever enough, Tin-man loyal enough and Lion brave enough to overcome all the problems they face together? Will they be able to cross the magic poppy fields and can they escape the dangers waiting for them in the spooky woods?

They are watched over every step of the way by the good witch Glinda and pursued by the Wicked Witch of the West who has her own plans for Dorothy and the magic red shoes upon her feet. We follow the antics of Dorothy and her new friends, Scarecrow, Tin-man and Lion as they navigate through the magical world of Oz to find the Wizard in the hope of fulfilling all their dreams. Frank Baum, but with a pantomime twist giving enough audience participation, slapstick, song and dance to please children and adults alike. Our Wizard of Oz script is a fairly faithful re-telling of the original story by L.
