OZ
Adapted from the Book by L. Frank Baum
By Patrick Shanahan
Directed by Ron Milts (One Man Two Guvnors, The Dinner Party, The Tempest)
​
March 10th - March 12th, 2023

It is 1899 in Chicago and Baum is putting the finishing touches on The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, but putting dreams on paper is elusive business and Baum is struggling with some definite plot problems, no title and no ending! Like the cyclone in his story, Baum's wife, his housekeeper, and a little girl named Dot gets swept up in the mad vortex of his tale, as Baum enlists them to help him improvise the story.

Suddenly, an overstuffed Victorian study becomes a magical land, and the famous characters of Toto, Scarecrow, Tinman, and Cowardly Lion are created before your very eyes.  Somewhere, in the heart of this frenzy is the whole creative process, and in the end we realize that Baum is the real wizard of Oz, but he needs an assistant … our imaginations.
