The John W. Engeman Theater at Northport is proud to present THE WIZARD OF OZ, part of the TD BANK Youth Theater Series. The Wizard of Oz is based on the classic story by L. Frank Baum and is presented as a fresh new musical comedy, containing adventure, friendly characters and humor.

Dorothy Gale, bored with her life on a Kansas farm, is swept away to a magical land by a tornado and sets off on a quest to see the Wizard who can help her return home. On her way she meets a Scarecrow who needs a brain, a Tin Man who wants a heart and a Cowardly Lion who desperately needs courage. They all hope the Wizard of Oz will help them, before the Wicked Witch of the West catches up with them.
