Over the course of 4 weeks, students create a fully-devised theatre production that culminates in multiple performance opportunities on the MainStage. Dorothy has returned to Oz, but nothing is quite the way she left it – the world has fallen to ruin, and her beloved companions have vanished. Can she join up with a new group of friends to bring Oz back to life? Join us and find out!

An educational experience focused on combining dramatic and technical skills allowing for self-exploration through the world of puppetry, taught by Zoë Peterson. Skills taught in this course include collaboration, ensemble building, playwriting, design, and acting through voice and movement.
