Directed by Melodie Wolford, this adaptation of the classic Wizard of Oz will be starring Gabrielle Sansone as Dorothy and a cast of talented actors from Westchester and surrounding communities. This live performance, based on the Turner Entertainment Company’s 1939 film starring Judy Garland, will be showcasing the Royal Shakespeare’s Wizard of OZ script adapted by John Kane; music and lyrics by Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburgh.

L. Frank Baum, the writer of The Wonderful Wizard of OZ, attended school at the Military Academy in Peekskill as a youth so much of his inspiration came from the time he spent here in the Hudson Valley. Some of the infamous Yellow Bricks still remain in Peekskill to this day!
