Seeking Kids for "The Wizard of Oz" Show

Students in 1st grade and up are welcome to audition for "The Wizard of Oz" Show. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: L. Frank Baum’s classic novel comes to life in The Wizard of Oz. This faithful adaptation by the Royal Shakespeare Company features all the most beloved songs and moments from the 1939 classic film, brought to life onstage. Young Dorothy Gale is swept away by a tornado from her Kansas farm to the magical land of Oz. There, she encounters a host of whimsical characters: good witches, bad witches, animals that talk, scarecrows that walk, and things magical to behold. To find her way home, she must journey along the Yellow Brick Road to see the mysterious and all-powerful Wizard in Emerald City. Along the way, she makes new friends, but must also brave many dangers, including the Wicked Witch of the West, who will stop at nothing to get her hands on Dorothy’s magical ruby slippers. To make it home safely, Dorothy must learn an important lesson: there’s no place like home. Additional info: Girls should prepare “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” Boys should prepare “If I Only Had a Brain,” “If I Only Had a Heart,” or “If I Were King of the Forest.” Directors will also have some performers do a cold read on the evening of auditions. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or just looking to try something new, there’s a role for everyone in Oz! Mark your calendars and come join the fun. Performances of The Wizard of Oz will be at Saint Mary's College O'Laughlin Auditorium on July 11 & 12, 2025. If interested, please apply.
