Featuring a cast of students in grades 6-12, with some additional Munchkins from South Seneca Elementary School, the Falcons present the Royal Shakespeare Company version of "The Wizard of Oz" with book adaptations by John Kane, which follows the famous motion picture even more closely than the original 1942 stage adaptation.
South Seneca’s production of The Wizard of Oz is directed by Tina Coville-Bauder, with choreography by Chad Eastman and vocal direction by Madelyn Houck. Technical direction is by Jared Pratt with Costumes by Nicole Nelson.
Based on L. Frank Baum's famous story in which Dorothy Gale, a young girl who lives on a farm in Kansas with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry, gets in the way while the adults try to work. She finds a quiet place where she won't get into any trouble; somewhere over the rainbow. The girl is upset because their mean neighbor, Miss Gulch, presents her with a sheriff's summons for her cherished dog, Toto. Toto escapes from Miss Gulch's bicycle basket and joins Dorothy as she runs away from the farm.
They meet up with kind Professor Marvel, who convinces her to go back home. A cyclone hits the area, and Dorothy and Toto are locked out of the family's storm cellar. They go into her room in the house, where Dorothy is accidently hit on the head. This begins their journey to the Land of Oz.
