Follow the Yellow Brick Road on Friday Night!~By Hanna Aldrin
Murphys, CA.... The Black Bart Theater in Murphys proudly presents "The Wizard of OZ" for the summer play production. 30 students from Calaveras County are participating in this summers jazzy production. Lisa Logan has created a retro twist to the classical story of the Wizard of Oz. The play is a musical performed by students 6-13 years old. "This is my fifth personal remake of a play, the Oz has great energy and music." This radical, modern twist is fun and very entertaining to watch. The students put on a great show and will keep you laughing throughout the production. This Friday is the only production of the play, the play will start at 5pm....

Dorothy is a young girl who lives on a Kansas farm with her Uncle Henry, Aunt Em, and little dog Toto. One day the farmhouse, with Dorothy inside, is caught up in a tornado and deposited in a field in the country of the Munchkins. The falling house kills the Wicked Witch of the East.
The Good Witch of the North comes with the Munchkins to greet Dorothy and gives Dorothy the shoes that the Wicked Witch of the East had been wearing when she was killed. In order to return to Kansas, the Good Witch of the North tells Dorothy that she will have to go to the "Emerald City" and ask the Wizard of Oz to help her.
On her way down the road paved with yellow brick to the Emerald City, Dorothy frees the Scarecrow from the pole he is hanging on, restores the movements of the rusted Tin Woodman with an oilcan, and encourages the Cowardly Lion to journey with her and Toto to the Emerald City.
The Scarecrow wants to get a brain, the Tin Woodman a heart, and the Cowardly Lion, courage. All are convinced by Dorothy that the Wizard can help them too. Together, they overcome obstacles on the way (Wikipedia).
