Guest Blog: Director Brigid Larmour On All-female MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
by Marianka Swain - Oct 10, 2018

BWW Review: THE WIZARD OF OZ National Tour at North Carolina Theatre
by Jeffrey Kare - Mar 14, 2018
Based on Victor Fleming's 1939 film musical of the same name as well as L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel, The Wizard of Oz (of course) follows Dorothy Gale, a young girl who lives on a farm in Kansas with her dog, Toto, until a cyclone arrives, picks up her house, and blows them away to the land of Oz. Things in Oz are strange and beautiful, but Dorothy just wants to go home. She's helped by the Good Witch of the North, but she's also in trouble with the Wicked Witch of the West, who seeks revenge for the death of her sister; the Wicked Witch of the East, for which she blames Dorothy.
