TICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE! Only EIGHT performances! Limited seating!

For The Rage of the Stage Players 24th year, we are presenting what is arguably our most “POP-u-lar” production, "Dorothy in Oz", written by Pittsburgh playwright James Michael Shoberg! The play celebrated its world premiere in Pittsburgh, PA, in September 2009, and has gone on to be produced both nationally and internationally, including premieres in New York City and London. The 2011 revival of this uproarious comedy features an updated script with brand-new jokes and “Easter eggs” for “Oz” fans, so even if you’ve seen it before, you HAVEN’T seen it before!

"Dorothy in Oz" will also have one Sunday matinee performance (a rarity for our company) after which we will host an audience talkback with the cast and playwright (a FIRST for our company)!

GET YOUR TICKETS EARLY! LIMITED SEATING!

SYNOPSIS:

"Dorothy in Oz" is a skewed take on L. Frank Baum’s beloved American fairy tale, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz". The production’s dark and mature humor, riddled with “Easter eggs”, parodies the original children’s novel, the 1939 film, "The Wiz" (1978), "Return to Oz" (1985), and even "Wicked"!

Set in the “Ozlin Center”, a Kansas mental facility, the play follows a bipolar Dorothy (Dottie) Gale, who’s involuntarily committed by her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry. While hospitalized, she’s treated with an experimental drug called “Cyclozil”, which causes her to hallucinate a twisted version of the hospital, simply called “Oz”. While in her drug-induced delirium, Dottie encounters a ditzy therapist named Glinda and discovers that her only chance to be released is to seek out the hospital’s mysterious chief administrator—“The Great Oz”, himself. She’s instructed to follow the dingy yellow floor tiles on her journey through a veritable madhouse, where she’s joined by “Skarekrow” (two Ks) a drug-addicted goth-rocker; Rusty, a pierced, axe-wielding biker with severe anger issues; and Mr. Lyons, a sexually-frustrated deviant, searching for a prescription to give him a little “courage” below the belt. However, if coping with the quirks of her three new companions isn’t difficult enough, Dottie also attracts the attention of the Wicked Witch of the West Wing, a crazed doctor, who sends three of her cronies: Twitch, Grunt, and Swish, each the subject of one of her experiments, to capture Dottie for her own purposes.

(IM)Mature content and adult humor. Think of it as a “children’s play for grown-ups”.
