Synopsis
On the Road! To Oz
V. Glasgow Koste from L. Frank Baum
Published by Dramatic Publishing
2 Male 3 Female
It's a jokey, jubilant journey through the American dream of Oz
It recreates the cheerful, vaudeville-and-magic brand of fantasy with which Frank Baum charmed America's Great Plains from the Mississippi River to the Rockies
On the Road! To Oz takes place in the mind of a playwright
Dorothy and the other actors inhabit his/her mind. The characters they play come from Oz
The conflict is the playwright's struggle to let the story happen - to control or release the creative passion
It's the "child on a magical journey" - a reminder that life is a journey, not a destination
