 Wizard
of Oz is now a Christmas Play!
Fun,
Easy, Christmas Musical for Kids - New
for 2008!
"The
Wizard of Oz was absolutely
a wonderful experience from beginning to end! The script was
wonderful and easy to adapt so that everyone could participate!"
Donna
Stafford, First Grade Teacher, Kinston NC
Teachers, this
is what you are looking for!
Everyone's
favorite story turned into a Christmas
Play
Perfect
for your school's
Christmas Program!
Just
imagine! The Wizard of Oz adapted for Christmas! This
great new Christmas Musical comes
complete with child-friendly dialogue and familiar
Christmas carols the audience and performers can sing
together! A snow blizzard carries
Dorothy and Toto to the Magical Elfinsland
where Glinda is the Good Witch of the
North Pole! Dorothy must get home to open her Christmas
presents in the morning, so she sets off to meet the Wizard
who lives in the Great Palace of Toys. The
Scarecrow is now a Snowman, the Tin
Man becomes a Tin Soldier and the
Lion is now a toy Stuffed Lion
that is sadly overpriced. Is that man behind the curtain really Santa
Claus? Will he grant the traveling friends
their gifts? Will he help Dorothy get back to Kansas
in time for Christmas? Is that Santa's
sleigh and reindeer flying off in the sky? When Dorothy
wakes up on Christmas morning it all becomes clear -- there's
no place like home!

Picture for More Great Wizard of Oz Productions]
You
won't believe how beautifully this
story lends itself to the traditional
Christmas message! Through her
adventures, Dorothy learns that the real
gifts of Christmas are friends,
family and love -- that nothing in life
is more important than wisdom,
caring and courage.
With fun, clever lyrics
set to familiar tunes, A Christmas
Wizard of Oz is filled with audience
interaction and great
roles for every single one of your
students. Its heartwarming
ending will bring
a
tear to your eye and holiday
joy to your heart!
  
Fairview
Elementary, Children's Theatre Play, Carthage, MO
This
musical adaptation is not campy or
off-beat. It stays very
true to the story and characters you
love so well. The Christmas
touches are full of gentle light-hearted
fun and a great source of laughs
throughout making this an extremely unique
experience that will surprise
your audience over and over again!
What
could be better than the Wizard
of Oz at Christmas? So light up
the Christmas tree
and break out the Santa
suit! Round up those elf
ears and reindeer
antlers! It's a perfect
holiday treat
for parents, children
and anyone with a kind
and loving heart.

"We've
done 2 of your scripts over the
past 2 years (The
Wizard of Oz, and this year, Peter
Pan), and I can't tell you how
much I appreciate
what you do. We cast 1st
through 5th grade students, in
an inner-city
school, all second
language learners, and they loved
it. Your children's scripts are well-paced,
clear,
and fun for all.
Our first year we had 4 performances for about an audience
of 300 total. This year, after
word got out, we had over
1,000 people see our play.
Thanks again for the great
scripts, and we'll see what we
do next year!"
Greg
Tutt, Teacher, Buford Elementary, Lennox, CA
"We
just finished our 2006 drama camp. Your
Wizard of Oz made our work SO
much easier!!! My high
school drama club members plan
and put these camps into action, and they really appreciated the script
and guide.
Splitting the parts so that several
kids could play the various parts
was just a God-send....no
crying because they didn't get
to be Dorothy! I was afraid that we would not be able to pull
off the show because our camp is just one week long. But my
little troupers pulled it off beautifully! Thank
you SO much for your children's scripts and plays!
I'll be ordering another one for next summer's camp!!!"

"Thank
you for such a wonderful children's script. Our
performance was SPECTACULAR!
A first grader played Dorothy, and the way the lines were written
really helped her to learn them well. I would ABSOLUTELY
purchase from you again - for the quality
of your plays
and your personal helpfulness. To quote an audience member from our
play, 'That
was the best thing this school has ever done! We need more of that here!'
Thanks for your help in making it a magical
evening for
my kids."

"Here
are some pictures from my first
grade class production of The
Wizard of Oz. It was absolutely
a wonderful experience from
beginning to end. I was an inclusion teacher so there were many special
needs students in my class.
The
children's script was wonderful
and easy to adapt so that everyone
could participate and met with
success. I've already ordered Alice
In Wonderland for next year!"

you
for your script for The

I directed it this year at Diamond View Elementary School in

"I
work at a school with children who
have learning disabilities and last year we performed the Wizard of
Oz. The teachers
and parents were amazed
at what a great job these kids
did. To tell you the truth I was amazed. Some have trouble reading
but with help they
could remember all their lines.
We had parents
that were crying because they
were so happy for their child."
