This October Cassidy Theatre brings to life the The Wizard of Oz (RSC Version), a delightful stage adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s beloved tale, recreating the dialogue and structure of classic MGM film and featuring its iconic musical score. We are looking to feature a multigenerational cast – Families, the Young, and the Young in Heart – to help us share this timeless tale, in which young Dorothy Gale travels from Kansas over the rainbow to the magical Land of Oz.
