Cleveland Stories Dinner Parties with Don Billie. (With additional Cleveland dates.)

The Cleveland Stories Dinner Party brings to life fun, interesting stories about Cleveland’s past. For October 15th’s event, the topic is dear to the heart of Oz fans–Margaret Hamilton: The Wicked Witch from Cleveland.

Don Billie knows the woman behind the Wicked Witch. As the author of Margaret Hamilton from Cleveland, Ohio, to the Land of Oz, Don will dive beyond the green makeup and cackle to reveal the Cleveland native who became one of Hollywood’s most iconic–and misunderstood–figures.

With warmth, wit, and deep research, Don tells the story of a schoolteacher-turned-star who never forgot her roots. From her early days in Cleveland to the set of The Wizard of Oz, Margaret Hamilton’s journey is one of resilience, reinvention, and hometown pride — and Don Billie tells it like no one else can. If you think you know the Wicked Witch, think again. This is the real story, and Don brings it to life.

5:00pm, with the storytelling beginning promptly at 7:00pm.
