Follow the yellow brick road in this delightful stage adaptation of L. Frank Baum's beloved tale, The Wizard of Oz, featuring the iconic musical score from the MGM film!
Follow Dorothy and her dog Toto as they're swept away to a magical land filled with munchkins, a talking scarecrow, a tinman, a cowardly lion, the wicked witch, and of course the wonderful Wizard of Oz himself! Along the way, they’ll learn the importance of courage, friendship, and believing in yourself.
Filled with unforgettable songs like "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", "If I Only Had A Brain" and "Follow the Yellow Brick Road", this timeless tale never fails to delight!

TRAINING & PRODUCTION
Our youngest performers fit into one of two categories;
-
Show pony - itching to get onstage!
-
Ensemble player - just happy to quietly develop their skills in a class setting. No performance needed!
We have a pathway for every child!
Our RUGRAT Musical Theatre Program is built from creative play, allowing our students to develop their skills in singing, acting and dance in a safe and supportive environment all while working towards a performance in partnership with our JUNIOR students.
Perhaps DANCE is more your style? We've just added a 30min Jazz/Ballet hybrid class to our Saturday morning schedule. Do either one class or BOTH!
