Presented by local amateur group, Trinity Music and Drama.
When a tornado rips through Kansas, Dorothy and her dog, Toto, are swept away from their home to the magical Land of Oz. They follow the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City to meet the Wizard of Oz. On the way, they meet a Scarecrow who wants a brain, a Tin Man who wants a heart, and a Cowardly Lion who wants courage. They are hopeful that the Wizard will be able to fulfil their wishes, but not far behind them is the Wicked Witch of the West, who is out for revenge on Dorothy after she accidentally killed her sister, the Wicked Witch of the East. The Wizard asks them to bring him the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West to earn his help.
