It sold out in 2025 and now there is another chance to catch Kevin Kling’s take on what is going on with Dorothy, Tin Man, Lion, Wizard, and Scarecrow after Dorothy returns to Kansas. This multi-media event includes clips from very early film versions of L. Frank Baum’s Wizard of Oz and live music from The House of Mercy Band and Michelle Kinney.
