United Theatre Group, a non-profit all about inspiring young performers to shine like stars, is excited to celebrate its 50th performance! Get ready for a show packed with energy and creativity from the next generation of talent. The Wizard of Oz: Youth Edition is a one-hour adaptation of The Wizard of Oz, specially tailored for young actors.
Join Dorothy and her loyal companion Toto as they “Follow the Yellow Brick Road” through the Land of Oz, determined to reach the Emerald City, where the great and powerful Wizard of Oz will help them get home. Of course, along the way, Dorothy encounters witches (both good and bad), Munchkins, talking trees and winged monkeys. But most importantly, she befriends three unique characters: a Scarecrow with no brain, a Tin Man with no heart, and a Lion with no “nerve.” Their journey to happiness – and self-awareness – is a glowing testament to friendship, understanding and hope in a world filled with both beauty and ugliness.
