Carousel Theatre for Young People (CTYP), in partnership with Kaleidoscope Theatre for Young People, presents the Canadian premiere of Oz, at Granville Island’s Waterfront Theatre (1412 Cartwright St), from March 1-26, 2023. Set in 1899 Chicago, the play is a whimsically imagined backstory for how L. Frank Baum’s best-selling children’s book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, might have been written. Suitable for all ages, Oz is a charming tale of bravery, camaraderie, and, ultimately, finding your place in the world.
