“Wizard of Oz” Auditions
Seeking energetic and vibrant performers, ages 8 and up!
Synopsis:
When a young girl named Dorothy and her dog Toto are swept away by a tornado, they find themselves in the magical land of Oz. Determined to find her way home, Dorothy sets off on a journey to meet the Wizard of Oz, who may hold the power to send her back to Kansas. Along the way, she befriends a Scarecrow who longs for a brain, a Tinman who dreams of having a heart, and a Cowardly Lion seeking courage. Together, they travel the Yellow Brick Road, facing challenges and working together to outsmart the Wicked Witch of the West, who is determined to steal Dorothy’s ruby slippers. Their adventure is a heartwarming tale of friendship, bravery, and self-discovery.
