The Wizard Of Oz

Lions, and tigers, and bears—oh my! Oconee Community Theatre is thrilled to announce that this coming March, we’ll be bringing the beloved classic The Wizard of Oz to life on our stage! Join us as we follow Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion down the Yellow Brick Road in this timeless tale of friendship, courage, and discovering that ‘there’s no place like home.’ From Kansas to the Emerald City, this musical will capture your heart with its unforgettable songs, dazzling characters, and magical journey.

Based on the iconic MGM film, The Wizard of Oz takes you on Dorothy’s whirlwind adventure as she’s swept away by a twister to the fantastical land of Oz. With the help of her newfound friends, she sets out to meet the Wizard, hoping he can help her find her way back home to Kansas. Along the way, she’ll encounter flying monkeys, a Wicked Witch, and the magical power of believing in yourself. Packed with cherished songs like ‘Over the Rainbow’ and ‘If I Only Had a Brain,’ this production is perfect for audiences of all ages.

A little Theater that's BIG on talent!!! Our family has enjoyed several amazing shows at Oconee Community Theater and have always been pleasantly surprised ar the amount of local talent they have. The dinner theater show was really fun too, with catered food from a local restaurant. We love that the ticket prices are so reasonably priced for the whole family.

Oconee Community Theater is a wonderfully run theater. After not having acted since high school, I decided to try out for a play last December. I was welcomed with open arms and given a part. I have tried out and acted in plays since this time. The theater truly is a family and all are welcomed with open arms. If you have ever thought of trying out for a play, come give it a shot. If you would rather work behind the scenes, you will still be welcomed with open arms.

Oconee Community Theatre offers great shows and a welcoming staff. It’s also such a fun place to perform comedy. The crowd is always ready to laugh. And I’m so excited to be performing there again on May 12th!!
