Synopsis
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
V. Glasgow Koste from L. Frank Baum
Published by Dramatic Publishing
Baum is a welcome and theatrical addition
In real life he was an actor, traveling salesman, vaudeville manager and newspaperman - an authentic American gypsy
Swept to Oz on a cyclone, Dorothy joins with the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion as she searches for home and family
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz celebrates the importance of mind and heart; courage in facing what is feared; the need to dream, to dare, to ride out storms; the joys of loving, laughing, crying, being lost and found
Faithful to the original book, Virginia Koste's play creates a fresh framework for Oz
