Description:

Follow the magical journey of Dorothy Gale, a young girl swept away from her Kansas home by a powerful tornado to the enchanting land of Oz. With her faithful dog Toto by her side, Dorothy embarks on a quest to find the Wizard of Oz, hoping he can help her return home. Along the way, she befriends the lovable Scarecrow, the kind hearted Tin Man, and the brave Cowardly Lion each searching for something they believe they lack. Together, they face wicked witch, dazzling magic, and unforgettable adventures in this timeless tale of friendship, courage, and the true meaning of home.

Join us for a heartwarming production filled with unforgettable songs and a journey that reminds us all that “there’s no place like home.”

Biblical Reflection:
Just as Dorothy discovers that what she truly needs was within her all along, this story reminds us of Jeremiah 29:11  God’s plans for us are good, filled with hope and a future, guiding us home to where we belong.
