Fall Into Oz to Open as Outdoor Immersive Experience From Heart to Art Productions

Heart to Art Productions presents the world premiere of Fall Into Oz, an original outdoor theatre experience designed for an intimate audience, where family, friends, and Oz fans of all generations can enjoy this unique, new autumn adventure. Inspired by L. Frank Baum's 1900 book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, whose characters were derived from Baum's own life, Fall Into Oz reignites this story by placing audiences directly onto the path to Oz. The experience joins Dorothy on a fresh, new journey through Emerald City, complete with live character interactions, quests, merchants, and whimsical musings of the Emerald City players. The event is described as family-friendly, a new addition to Fall season festivities, with all ages welcome.

When a tornado sweeps Dorothy and her group of guests into the magical Land of Oz, they must journey to the Emerald City, solving interactive challenges that awaken their brains, captivate their hearts, and ignite their courage, only to discover that the power to find their way home was within them all along.

Fall Into Oz is written and conceived by Heart to Art's Founder and Artistic Director, Rochelle Perry, directed by Justin Rose and produced by Heart to Art Productions and Producer Anne Mesa.

About the Company

Heart to Art Productions was established in 2025 by Rochelle Perry. Perry founded Heart to Art Productions after more than 20 years working at Hollywood studios and more than a decade of producing and playwriting for local theaters.

The company grew in part from Perry's observations of changes within the entertainment industry, including studio mergers, the increasing use of artificial intelligence and widespread layoffs. She created Heart to Art as a space where entertainment professionals and other artists could collaborate and develop new work for their communities.

As a mother, Perry was also interested in creating stories that would appeal to children and introduce younger audiences to live theater and classic tales.

Heart to Art Productions' mission is to create immersive experiences and original productions for family audiences while developing a creative home where artists can collaborate and bring their work to the community.

Mission Statement

Heart to Art Productions' mission is to create immersive stories that bring people together while empowering the artists who bring those stories to life.

The company produces unforgettable experiences and original productions that invite audiences to step beyond observation and become part of the story. At the same time, it is committed to supporting local artists, performers, designers, technicians, and storytellers by providing meaningful opportunities to create, collaborate, and thrive in an ever-changing entertainment industry.
