Odd take on Wizard of Oz

FORGET the Wizard of Oz, the Wizard of Odd is coming to Casey these school holidays thanks to BATS Theatre Company.
BATS has been offering affordable school holiday entertainment for the whole family to enjoy for many years and this year is no different.
Directed by Thomas Out and with a cast ranging in ages from six to 37 years old, this quirky pantomime of the 1940 classic will have everyone laughing and singing along.
“Come and join Dorothy, Toto and the gang as they overcome obstacles to find ‘The Wiz’ to help them with their unique problems,” said Thomas.
“Will the Scarecrow get his brain back from the Wicked Witch’s zombie army?
“Will the Lion have to go on eating cat food? You’ll have to watch and find out.”
The Wizard of Oz will be staged at the Cranbourne Community Theatre, Brunt Street, Cranbourne.
Performance dates are Monday 19 September at 7pm, Tuesday 20 September at 1pm, Wednesday 21 September 1pm and 7pm and Thursday 22 September at 1pm.
