The Alden’s 2026 Youth Production “The Wizard of Oz” Auditions

Adapted by Erin Detrick; Produced by special arrangement with Playscripts, Inc.

When Dorothy drops into the Land of Oz, only one thing is certain: she's got to find a way back to Kansas. A funny and fast-paced journey down the yellow brick road ensues, as Dorothy and her new friends travel to the fabled Emerald City to meet the Great Oz. When Oz demands a steep price for sending her home, a perilous new adventure begins. This imaginative adaptation captures the heart of L. Frank Baum's classic tale.
