Dorothy Gale, a young girl living on a Kansas farm with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry, dreams of escaping her mundane life. The family’s mean neighbour, Miss Gulch, threatens to impound Dorothy’s cherished dog, Toto, so Dorothy and Toto run away. They meet up with kindly Professor Marvel, who convinces Dorothy to return home. Along the way, a cyclone hits, and Dorothy and Toto are transported to the Land of Oz.
In Oz, Dorothy meets Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, the Wicked Witch of the West, and some companions – Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion – who travel with her to find the Wizard of Oz in the Emerald City. Desperate to find her way home, Dorothy must face many challenges before returning, discovering what is really important along the way.

What parents say
My daughter loves going here. She has been going a few years now and does acting classes plus the musicals. The teachers are wonderful, everyone is treated equally, there are no favourites and she has made lots of friends. It is a great place for children to build confidence and help with issues like anxiety. I highly recommend!
