Theatre Denton Theatre School

Our Spring Production of 'The Wizard of Oz' is going to be amazing and we need YOU! Enrollment is open to students ages 10 - 17 (4th grade - 12th grade), auditions are March 1st - 3rd, rehearsals begin March 15th and show dates are May 14th - 16th at the Historic Campus Theatre! This show is a joint production and will have both adults and students. There are over 45 available roles for our students, and 2-3 specific roles will be cast with adults + an adult ensemble. This is a unique opportunity for our students to learn how to interact and learn from mature adult actors and to grow as performers and technicians.

Follow the yellow brick road in this delightful stage adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s beloved tale, featuring the iconic musical score from the MGM film. The timeless tale, in which young Dorothy Gale travels from Kansas over the rainbow to the magical Land of Oz, continues to thrill audiences worldwide.

The Wizard of Oz: RSC includes the songs “Over the Rainbow,” “Munchkinland (Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead),” “If I Only Had a Brain/a Heart/the Nerve,” “We’re Off to See the Wizard (Follow the Yellow Brick Road),” “Jitterbug,” and “The Merry Old Land of Oz.”

This RSC version is a more faithful adaptation of the film. A more technically complex production, it recreates the dialogue and structure of the MGM classic nearly scene for scene, though it is adapted for live stage performance. The RSC version’s musical material also provides more work for the SATB chorus and small vocal ensembles.

Take a moment to go over our proposed production calendar, not every student will be required to attend every rehearsal, however ALL STUDENTS are required for ALL of tech week. Missing multiple rehearsals with little to no communication is also grounds for dismissal (without refund) from the program. There will be a mandatory parent/student orientation on Monday, March 15th!

Please prepare a 1 minute song in the style of the show and a 1 minute comedic monologue. Please come prepared with a track for your song, a bluetooth speaker will be provided. Please be advised we may ask you to read from the script and will ask for cold reads during callbacks.
