ABOUT THE WIZARD OF OZ
When Dorothy drops into the Land of Oz, only one thing is certain: she’s got to find a way back to Kansas. A funny and fast-paced journey down the yellow brick road ensues, as Dorothy and her new friends travel to the fabled Emerald City to meet the Great Oz. When Oz demands a steep price for sending her home, a perilous new adventure begins. This imaginative adaptation captures the heart of L. Frank Baum’s classic tale.
This play contains:
- Themes of loss, natural disaster, violence;
- Descriptions of dismemberment, murder threats.
ABOUT TREASURE ISLAND
Adventure beckons when a mysterious blind man delivers a dreaded Black Spot to an aging sea captain, plunging an innkeeper’s son into a desperate race for buried treasure. Set sail with young Jim Hawkins, Long John Silver and a crew of swashbuckling rogues. Treasure Island regales thrill-seekers of all ages with an epic story. Features stage combat, puppetry, movement and choral singing.
This play contains:
- Depictions of violence, alcohol use, drunkeness, heights (people on rigging), capture and rope restraints;
- Presence of knives, cutlasses, pistols, oars, picks and shovels.
