Wizard of Oz – Young Company

Hold onto your ruby slippers because Lighthouse Festival’s Young Company is following the yellow brick road this August with The Wizard of Oz, adapted and directed by Marcus Lundgren. 

When a Kansas farm girl named Dorothy gets swept away by a tornado (as one does), she lands in the colourful land of Oz and is immediately tasked with a rather inconvenient mission: travel to the Emerald City and ask the mysterious Wizard for help getting home. Along the way, she picks up a Scarecrow who needs a brain, a Tin Man who wants a heart, and a Lion who is very enthusiastic about courage… in theory. Toss in a vengeful witch who’s green, grumpy, and has a very strong opinion about who should (and absolutely should not) be wearing those ruby slippers. 

Expect flying monkeys, magical mayhem, big laughs, and enough youthful energy to power a tornado. After all, there’s no place like Lighthouse!  

Tickets are $17 each or four for $60. Appropriate for all ages (including munchkins and flying monkeys).
