TIME AGAIN IN OZ Summer Players story by Frank L. Baum adapted by Suzan L. Zeder music by Richard Gray directed by Hisa Takakuwa musical direction by Erin McNally arrangements by Robert Nafarrete
The 17 Summer Players in Time Again in Oz are dedicated actors who audition for roles in the annual summer production after at least a year in SCR’s Theatre Conservatory. Classes meet from 1 until 5 pm Monday through Friday, July 16 – August 19. During the four weeks, students have the opportunity to put their classroom experience to the test in a fully produced play.
In Time Again in Oz, Dorothy and her aging Uncle Henry survive a shipwreck only to find themselves on a time-bending adventure in Oz, where they encounter a tycoon who gives big business a bad name, an old soul in the body of a very young child and an entire army on roller skates — for starters. But when “Tick-Toc” turns time back in Oz, Dorothy becomes a little girl again, and Uncle Henry walks away from his wheelchair. Young theatre-goers will share in Dorothy’s dilemma as she and Uncle Henry ponder whether to stay in the Emerald City and remain the same age forever — or return to Kansas, face the joys of each new day and let time march on.
