The show, directed by the incomparable Bethany Dellapolla, will feature all of the favorite characters from the beloved MGM film classic: Dorothy, The Scarecrow, The Tin Man, The Cowardly Lion, and, of course, the Wizard, among others! Flexible casting! The materials have been prepared to help Bay Street mount the best possible production and to give the young cast an exciting and rewarding experience!
