The Wizard of Oz at the Memorial Opera House
The classic story we all know and love comes to life on the Opera House Stage. When a nasty neighbor threatens to have Toto put to sleep, Dorothy Gale takes her beloved pet and runs away. A cyclone appears and carries her to the magical land of Oz. Wishing to return home, she begins to travel to the Emerald City where a great wizard lives. On her way she meets a Scarecrow who needs a brain, a Tin Man who wants a heart, and a Cowardly Lion who desperately needs courage. They all hope the Wizard of Oz will help them, before the Wicked Witch of the West catches up with them.
