May Long Weekend :
The Wizard of OZ
adapted by Wide Open
May 19th -27th, 2012

At the Refinery - 609 Dufferin Ave., Saskatoon Dorothy Gale, and her dog Toto are blown away in a tornado and land in a fairyland named Oz. Here she meets - the Scarecrow, Tin Woodsman, and The Cowardly Lion. Together they go on a quest to see the Wizard of Oz, each of them seeking what they want most in life.

“The story of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" was written solely to please children... It aspires to being a modernized fairy tale, in which the wonderment and joy are retained and the heartaches and nightmares are left out.”
L. Frank Baum
April, 1900
