Oz Meets Ojai
Tornadoes, wicked witches and a yellow brick road are not part of the everyday scenery in Ojai, but come Saturday they will be. The Illusions Theatre will bring “The Wizard of Oz” to the Libbey Bowl.
A cast of 45 will adapt L. Frank Baum’s fantasy as Dorothy and friends attempt to walk the yellow brick road and dodge the wrath of the Wicked Witch of the West. Director Elizabeth Ridenour said the play will hold true to the original story line.
“We tell the story as it was written, pretty much. There are a couple variations. We have two lions, but the Scarecrow and Tin Man will be there, of course.” Ridenour said the audiences will enjoy the production’s special effects.
Performances begin at 5 and 7 p.m. Saturdays and 5 p.m. Sundays, continuing through July 22.
Tickets are $6; $3.50 for senior citizens and children 12 and under.
The park is at Ojai Avenue between South Signal and South Montgomery streets. For information, call 646-3533 or 646-6387.
