The Lake Forest Children’s Theatre Company Presents:
The Wizard of Oz - register online
The classic adventure of Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion (and Toto too!) as they journey down the Yellow Brick Road to see the great and mysterious Wizard of Oz. Through triumphs and troubles, sadness and song, Dorothy will learn that “there’s no place like home.” The Lake Forest Children’s Theatre Company Program is a fun and entertaining way for students to learn discipline, responsibility, teamwork, and dedication. We spark imagination and train children to think creatively and intuitively. Classes improve communication skills, self-esteem and respect for others and encourage students to explore their own creative voices. Most of all, the Children’s Theatre inspires a love for the performing arts.
