"The Wizard of Oz" Play Seeking Actors and Actresses
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Casting call for "The Wizard of Oz" play, seeking performers of all identities, body types, abilities, and ethnicities to audition. See more details below. About the project: Follow the yellow brick road in this delightful stage adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s beloved tale, featuring the iconic musical score from the MGM film. The timeless tale, in which young Dorothy Gale travels from Kansas over the rainbow to the magical Land of Oz, continues to thrill audiences worldwide. Community Little Theatre will be producing the RSC version - a more faithful adaptation of the film. A more technically complex production, it recreates the dialogue and structure of the MGM classic nearly scene for scene, though it is adapted for live stage performance. After being swept away to the magical land of Oz, Dorothy befriends the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion as she confronts the Wicked Witch of the West and tries to make her way back to Kansas.
