Join Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tinman, the Cowardly Lion and their friends for a theatrical production of the classic movie every family loves. Presented by Plaza Theatrical Productions, this one-hour version of The Wizard of Oz is the perfect introduction to live theater for children. Perfect for ages 4-12 and includes a meet and greet with the performers in the lobby after the performance! The New York Times calls Plaza Theatrical "Long Island's Most Prolific Touring Theatre Company." Since 1983, the organization has been presenting highly acclaimed musicals, children's theatre, and arts-in- education productions throughout the tri-state area.

Their productions have been featured at the Lincoln Center Out- of-Doors Festival, The Long Island Children's Museum, The Cradle of Aviation Museum, and more. Music & Arts will be in the lobby before the show with a special Instrument "Petting Zoo" - a variety of instruments available for students to look at up close, touch, and maybe even try to play. Information about renting instruments and taking music lessons at Music & Arts in Patchogue will also be available.

The historic crown jewel of downtown Patchogue, Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts (PTPA), first opened in 1923 as the largest theatre in Suffolk County. Ninety-five years since its construction, Patchogue Theatre has been through multiple renovations, including a $1.15 million renovation of its interior in 2016 with the installation of over 1,000 new seats, and the addition of a state-of-the-art LED marquee to its exterior in 2018. PTPA has produced more performances and welcomed more patrons than ever before during its 2018 season.
