FORESTBURGH – There’s no place like home! The Wizard of Oz, the timeless classic, opens at the Forestburgh Playhouse on July 9 and runs through August 1 as a part of its Family Fun Series. Performances are Thursdays and Saturdays at 11AM.

This magical journey will sweep you “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” with dazzling music, colorful characters, and plenty of heart. Join Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion as they travel down the Yellow Brick Road in search of brains, heart, courage—and a way home! Grab your ruby slippers, gather your munchkins, and click your heels three times—because adventure awaits at the Playhouse this summer! 

Directed by Franklin Trapp and featuring an ensemble of local youth artists from our own backyard playing Munchkins, Winkies, Flying Monkeys and more, this production promises to be fun for the entire family!

“The Wizard of Oz has captivated audiences for generations because it reminds us that courage, compassion, and friendship are timeless” says Franklin Trapp. “We're excited to bring this beloved story to life with fresh energy while honoring the classic everyone knows and loves.”
