The Kindleberger Arts is excited to announce our Family Musical for the 40th Anniversary Kindleberger Summer Festival of the Performing Arts! Directed by Ken Holda, this summer we bring to The Stage at Kindleberger the timeless and enduring THE WIZARD OF OZ! Based on the classic 1939 MGM movie musical and book by L. Frank Baum, The Wizard of Oz is a classic musical that has enchanted families for generations. The Wizard of Oz has a special place in our four decades of outdoor theatre history, performed in Kindleberger Park as the second musical staged in 1986. So once again, we’re off to see the Wizard! Audiences young and old will be dazzled by the brightly colored sets and charmed by its timeless score which includes one of the greatest hit songs in musical history, the Oscar winning, “Over the Rainbow”. A story of good witches, wicked witches, munchkins, a cowardly lion in search of courage, a tin man in search of a heart, a scarecrow in search of a brain, and a young girl from Kansas in search of home. It’s a show for the entire family filled with eye-popping costumes, rib-tickling humor, breath-taking adventure. And whether it makes new memories for Festival families or conjures up special memories from an earlier era on Scout Hill in the park, everyone will be delighted to experience or relive the whimsical and wonderful THE WIZARD OF OZ! There’s no place like Kindleberger!
Play synopsis: Young Dorothy Gale of Kansas dreams of what lies over the rainbow. When a twister hits her farm and carries her to the merry old land of Oz, Dorothy battles the Wicked Witch of the West and soon learns that “there’s no place like home.” Join Dorothy, her little dog Toto, the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion as they take Glinda’s advice to follow the yellow brick road in search of the mysterious Wizard of Oz. Will the Wizard grant them their hearts’ desires? Watch out for the Wicked Witch of the West and her winged monkeys as you rediscover this fantastic musical treat for the whole family!
