The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

adapted by Laramie Dean from L. Frank Baum

There is no place like home.

Dorothy and Toto get swirled into a cyclone and find themselves dropped in the land of Oz – a land where scarecrows talk, lions are cowardly, and witches are very real.

In this fantastic adaptation of the original L. Frank Baum novel (there are no singing munchkins here) every fantasy element is easily and practically staged with just 10 cubes. You too can bring winged monkeys to life!

Gender flexible. Excellent ensemble opportunities. Budget friendly.

Praise for The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

Kristin Martin
Cypress Junction Montessori
This was my very first time as a director of a drama club. I chose this play because it was well known and seemed like an easy production to try out for our first year! In fact it was pretty easy for our first ever performance and loved by many! Most of my students have never been a part of a theatrical setting, and this play was simple enough to introduce basic stage direction as well as simple sets and costumes! We sold out the theatre for both of our performances it was that much of a hit!
