Oz

Location: Silva Hall

Presented by The Shedd Institute

The Shedd Institute is proud to present our own new stage production of the 1939 MGM classic motion picture The Wizard of Oz. The film has been adapted for stage twice: The 1945 adaptation by the Municipal Theater of St. Louis is the one most commonly done by community theatre companies. We will produce the Royal Shakespeare Company's 1988 adaptation, which follows the original MGM screenplay almost word for word! All of the wonderful dialogue, all of Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg's great songs, and a fresh new look you won't want to miss! This year's production stars some fresh new faces - Sophie Mitchell as Dorothy and Siri Vik as the Good Witch, and OFAM favorites Bill Hulings as the Scarecrow, Chip Sherman as the Tin Man, Mark Huizenga as the Lion, Suzanne Bunker as the Wicked Witch and Patrick Torelle as the Wizard. Willamette Rep's Kirk Boyd directs, with music direction by Vicki Brabham, choreography by Richard Jessup, sets by Jerry Hooker and costumes by Marry Mikkelson.
