Journey to oz resources

Journey to Oz is a fantastic new adaptation of the classic story by L. Frank Baum (author) and W. W. Denslow (illustrator). Audience members are invited to participate in the production, singing, dancing, and acting alongside professional actors. When the cyclone comes, the entire theater enters the eye of the storm with whisking lights and exciting music created by Barrymore award-winning composer, Josh Totora. Students play 16 individual roles during the play, and several are chosen to dance in the Emerald City. 

Journey to Oz is a co-production of the Experiential Theatre Company and the Children’s Theatre of Charlotte, where it received its world premiere. It was originally developed by Florida Repertory Theatre and was written by Christopher Parks, based on the works of L. Frank Baum and W. W. Denslow.
