Before Dorothy can visit the land of Oz, one tight-knit family must embark on an adventure across America to discover it for themselves. L. Frank Baum’s spirited wife Maud recounts times of both laughter and tears on their journey together, as all the unique people they meet along the way inspire the magical characters Frank will bring to life in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. As Maud reveals the man behind the curtain as the storyteller he is destined to become, the fantastical world of Oz is brought to life for audiences of all ages in this enchanting, heartfelt drama.
