Time has been stopped in Oz for what seems like years. After run-ins with the Gnome King (Edward Anderson) and the Wheelers, Dorothy is sure she doesn’t want to have another adventure here. But she soon finds herself embroiled in Oz affairs. All performances begin at 8 p.m. except on Sunday when the performance begins at 2 p.m. Closed on Monday.
