Summer Stage Young Acting Company
Join the journey of a lifetime as you bring the magic of “The Wizard of Oz” to life in a thrilling, fully-staged production at theREP’s studio theatre! Step into the shoes (yes, silver shoes) of iconic characters and discover theatre skills that will unlock your inner star: character building, using your voice to command the stage, movement that tells a story and the art of teamwork.
Join Dorothy, Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Woodman and even Toto as they set off down the Yellow Brick Road. Expect unforgettable encounters with the Good Witch, the Wicked Witch and other legendary figures of Oz as this non-musical adaptation brings you closer to L. Frank Baum’s original adventure tale. You’ll rehearse, perform and, most importantly, have a blast!
Who will be the next Dorothy? The Scarecrow? The Tin Woodman?
This journey awaits-are you ready?
