Ohnward Presents The Wizard of Oz – Youth Edition

Cast Announcement For The Wizard of Oz

Youth Edition

Performances dates:
July 25 at 7:00 PM
July 26 at 2:00 PM

This classic tale, in which a Kansas farm girl travels over the rainbow to discover the magical power of home, has been entertaining audiences for generations.  A cyclone transports Dorothy and her dog, Toto, from Kansas Munchkin Land.  Unfortunately, they land right on top of the Wicked Witch of the East — not a good thing!  As Dorothy and Toto head down the Yellow Brick Road to find the Wizard and their way back home to Kansas, they meet new friends, each with a wish that they hope The Great Oz can grant for them.  A scrawny Scarecrow needs a brain, a rusty Tin Man needs a heart, and a Cowardly Lion needs courage.  Click your heels three times and follow the yellow brick road to the Ohnward Fine Arts Center!
