Follow the yellow brick road down to the Granville Island Stage this November to see the timeless stage adaptation of “The Wizard of Oz.”<\/a> CTORA Theatre’s talented troupe of actors brings this beloved family-friendly show to the stage with dazzling sets, classic costume pieces, and toe-tapping music for a delightful show. Whether your kids know and love the story or you have first-time theatre-goers in your group, this engaging musical is sure to keep even the younger members of your crew thoroughly enchanted.<\/del><\/p>\n

Join Dorothy, a young girl from Kansas, as she is whipped into the magical world of Oz following a terrible tornado. In order to make it back home, she must journey along the yellow brick road to meet the great wizard and ask for his help. Along the way, Dorothy encounters characters who, like her, also need to see the wizard to ask for what they desire most. This heartwarming story demonstrates the power of perseverance, friendship, and courage. Dorothy and her band of friends face challenges, such as being pursued by the evil Wicked Witch of the West, but their ability to work together sees them through difficult times.<\/del><\/p>\n
