Journey to Oz
Sep 20 - Oct 5, 2025
McColl Family Theatre | For all ages


There’s no place like ... being on stage or playing a part in the story as it unfolds! In this fully interactive experience, you’ll be transported to Kansas, Munchkin Land, Emerald City, and other magical locations inspired by L. Frank Baum’s popular Oz book series. Get swept up in all the action with Dorothy and her friends as they battle the Wicked Witch to find the brains, the heart, and the courage they never knew they had.  One-Act, approx. 70 min.
  Spoiler Alert: At each show, audience members will take on key roles like Munchkins, flying monkeys, and Dorothy herself (participation is optional).
