SUMMARY:Avant Garde Theatre of Dance Presents: THE WIZARD OF OZ
DESCRIPTION:The Wizard of Oz is a wonderful tale of imagination. Dorothy an
 d her dog  Toto travel through a magical world of mystery after an incred
 ible natural  disaster in her small farm town in Kansas.\nOne dark aftern
 oon\, Dorothy and Toto were taking a walk\, when they were  spooked by a 
 mean local lady on her bicycle\, Mrs. Gulch. Dorothy and Toto  run in ter
 ror\, as a storm begins to brew. Mrs. Gulch steals Toto\, and while  tryi
 ng to get away\, Dorothy falls\, bumps her head\, and is left unconscious\
 ,  as a tornado moves onto her farm.\n\nMoments later\, Dorothy is awoken
  by her friend Toto\, licking her face. She  wakes up and realizes\, she
 ’s not in Kansas anymore. Glinda\, a good witch\,  flies in to explain.
  “ She must take the path of the yellow brick road\, to  meet the Wizar
 d of Oz\,“ if she wishes to return back to Kansas. Unknowing ly\, the to
 rnado had taken Dorothy’s farmhouse and tossed it on top of the  Wicked
  Witch of the East.\n\nShe is later greeted by many groups of Munchkins\, 
 of Munchkinland. The  mayor and the rest of the munchkins welcome Dorothy
  and celebrate the  death of The Wicked Witch. After the celebration\, Do
 rothy and Toto make\n\ntheir way down the yellow brick road\; they’re of
 f to see the Wizard\, the  wonderful Wizard of Oz.\n\nAlong the yellow br
 ick road\, Dorothy and Toto come across a corn field  with a scarecrow ha
 nging. The scarecrow springs to life and explains to  Dorothy\, he’s mi
 ssing his brain. Dorothy tells him to follow her to see the  Wizard of Oz
 \, to get his brain. The Scarecrow follows Dorothy down the  yellow brick
  road.\n\nThey soon come to a forest\, in the forest is a rusted Tin Man. 
 They add  some oil\, to help him move his arms and legs. He explains that
  he doesn’t  have a heart. Dorothy and Scarecrow get the Tin Man to fol
 low them to see  the Wizard and get him a new heart.\n\nA few skips away\
 , they come to a scary part of the forest. In the forest\,  they come acr
 oss a big scary lion. The lion gets spooked by noises coming  from the fo
 rest\, and confesses\, he doesn’t have any courage. He’s actually  a 
 scared and cowardly lion. They take the lion with them down the yellow  b
 rick road to find the Wizard.\n\nJust before arriving at Emerald City\, th
 e Wicked Witch of the West sees\, on  her crystal ball\, that they’re g
 etting closer. She casts a spell on the Poppy  Flowers and causes Dorothy
  to sleep. Glinda comes and makes the Pop pies disappear and sends them ba
 ck on their way.\n\n\nThey finally make it to the Wizard and he sends them
  to gather the witch’s  broom stick. They go back to get the broom stic
 k\, but the flying monkeys  come in and take Dorothy and Toto away and at
 tack the Scarecrow\, Lion\,  and Tin Man.\n\nInside the Witch’s Quarter
 s\, the witch’s guards march Dorothy and Toto  into the chambers of the
  Wicked Witch of the West. They try to escape\, but  they’re cornered b
 y the flying monkeys. The Wicked Witch tries to catch  the scarecrow on f
 ire with her torch\, but Dorothy throws a bucket of water  on the torch a
 nd the Witch\, to put out the flame. Immediately\, the Wicked  Witch star
 ts to melt.\n\n“I’m Melting\, melting....” She screams\, as she disa
 ppears and the monkeys  and guards begin bowing to Dorothy and give her t
 he broom stick to take  back to the Wizard.\n\nBack at the Wizard’s Qua
 rters\, Dorothy and the others enter with the  broom stick. The Wizard de
 nies them and upsets them all. Toto runs over  to the Wizard’s curtain 
 and pulls it\, revealing that he’s just a normal human  man.\n\nThe Wiz
 ard\, in a fright\, gives the Tin Man his heart\, the Scarecrow his brain\
 ,  and the Lion his courage. Then he offers to fly Dorothy home in his ho
 t air  balloon\, to get out of the Land of Oz.\n\nThe Wizard of Oz leaves
  in the balloon and Glinda enters\, dancing around  singing to Dorothy\, 
 letting her know not to worry.\n\nGlinda waves her magic wand and tells Do
 rothy to click her heels three  times and repeat “there’s no place li
 ke home.“ Dorothy does this and all of  a sudden\, everything goes blac
 k.\n\nSeconds later\, she begins to wake up\, as if she were in a deep sle
 ep. As she  wakes up\, she starts to realize\, she’s accompanied by Tot
 o\, Auntie Em\, and  the three farmers.\n\nShe explains to them all of th
 e adventures she had with Toto\, the Tin Man\,  the Scarecrow\, the Cowar
 dly Lion and the Great and Powerful Wizard of  Oz. They all laugh and tel
 l her she was knocked on the head during the  storm. She must have been d
 reaming the whole thing.\n\nShe replies\, “but you were there\, and you\
 , and even you.” No one really  knows if it was a dream\, but the land 
 of Oz is definitely a much safer place  now\, without the Wicked old Witc
 h!\n\n
