Oz on stage in Vancouver

Patrick Shanahan’s play, Oz, is featured at the Waterfront Theatre, Granville Island, Vancouver BC, March 1-26.

This unique play features just three characters — L. Frank Baum, a young girl named Dot, and Baum’s housekeeper. The story presents Baum in the last stages of writing The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Together the three work through and complete the story while improvising costumes and props from things found in Baum’s office.

Learn more at the theater’s website. And check this interview in the the Vancouver Sun with Jennica Grienke, Oz director and co-artistic and managing director of Carousel Theatre for Young People, about the Carousel/Kaleidoscope Theatre co-production.

See the website for show times, which included many matinees and opportunities for student groups.

Tickets start at $18 (Canadian)
