Inspired by L. Frank Baum’s original stories, this clever adaptation puts the audience front and center by allowing children in the audience to take on key roles, including Munchkins, Winkies, and even Dorothy. If you are in the room, you are in the show! Come see Journey to Oz and find out why there’s no place like home.

“Journey to Oz makes us fall in love again with the fantasy world created by L. Frank Baum.” – The Charlotte Observer
