Event Description

A New Play inspired by the characters in The Wizard of Oz
Created and performed by the men of William Head Institution, SNAFU
Directed by Kathleen Greenfield

It is 2019, and we enter a run-down Kansas Avenue on the tipping point of Renoviction. Through the shades of grey we get glimpses of the technicolor hopes and memories of this neighborhood’s long-standing inhabitants. We meet Toto coming home after a long time away, a curmudgeonly Tin Man, and Scarecrow, who is afraid of his own potential. Auntie Em runs a cafe on Kansas Ave, which serves as a neutral zone for the Lions and Flying Monkeys. In this dramatic comedy with live music and hip-hop, we uncover what home means to a community trying to find balance on unsteady ground.

“Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking.” - Scarecrow
“What makes a king out of a slave? Courage.” - Lion
“Hearts will never be practical until they are made unbreakable.” - The Wizard
