THE WIZ-DOM OF OZ
June 7-8, 2008 / February 7, 2009
PLOT
Continuing
the adventures of Oz, the play opens with Oz in Crisis! The Wizard
contemplates resigning and Oz may be coming to an end. It is reported
that the Wonderful Wizard of Oz may be calling it quits. That’s right.
Quits. The Lollipop Kids are beside themselves. The reason for Wizard’s
early retirement seems to be a rebellion led by our own beloved fairy
tale characters. They no longer believe that young readers find them
interesting. Alice, Dorothy, Snow, Cinderella and a slew of other fairy
tale characters have gone berserk. Glinda, the Mad Hatter, and
Cinderella’s Godmother have witnessed this sad state of affairs and
hope to help Oz. It has been reported that there even may be a visit
from that great spinner of fables, Aesop.
DIRECTOR'S NOTES
“The
Wiz-dom of Oz” is a children’s play that evolved from the play of
children—a kind of play that not only encourages creativity but also
sparks the imagination. During our rehearsal process the children were
not only learning the fundamentals of acting—memorization,
concentration, focus, interpretation, vocal inflection, improvisation
and movement—but also they were experiencing the joy of play, of
imagination, of invention. Curtain Up Classroom wishes that all of you,
young and old, capture the spirit of “The Wiz-dom of Oz,” the wonder
and delight of children at play.
