The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

Adventure Theatre MTC
7300 MacArthur Blvd Glen Echo

A modern take on the beloved classic! Life in Kansas has been a bit boring for Dorothy and her little dog Toto. Until one day, a cyclone swoops in and takes them “over the rainbow” to the wonderful and magical land of Oz. With the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion, Dorothy sets off on the adventure of a lifetime down the yellow brick road to the Emerald City. These new friends brave witches, flying monkeys, and a Haunted Forest all to meet the Wizard of Oz, who promises to make their dreams come true.

"...Of all the whimsical renditions of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz that have come down the yellow brick road, there is none like the Adventure Theatre MTC's dreamed-up production by Jacqueline E. Lawton and directed by Roberta Gasbarre. Playwright Jacqueline Lawton's adapted version of the time-honored fantasy is a perfectly abbreviated, easy storyline for children to grasp with twists, surprises and original details such as Dorothy wearing silver slippers (as opposed to ruby-colored) to reflect L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel. Top this off with a beautifully diverse cast that delivers lots of spunk, and you've got yourself an amazing performance that could be an award-winning phenomenon."

The entire story in one hour? With a cyclone, all the witches, tangley tree limbs, the yellow brick road, sparkly slippers, a flying monkey, treasured friends, and– yes, could it be? Even Munchkins!? (They’re there and again, must be seen to be believed.)
