Do you have what it takes to be on the Theatre Royal's stage? 

Stage Experience returns this year with a brand new production of The Wizard of Oz.

When a tornado hits Kansas, Dorothy and her pet dog Toto are swept away in their house to the magical Land of Oz. With a fond farewell from their new friends, the Munchkins and Glinda the Good Witch, the pair set off on their journey to the Emerald City to ask the Wonderful Wizard of Oz for his help to return home.

En route they meet some more colourful characters: a Scarecrow who wants a brain, a Tin Man who needs a heart, and a cowardly Lion who longs to be courageous. Before the great powerful Oz will consider their wishes, he demands they bring him the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West. Will the group succeed before the witch gets her hands on Dorothy’s enchanted ruby slippers?

The Creative Learning team is looking for Stage Experience participants aged between 10 - 18 years who are passionate about performing musical theatre or want to learn more about the production process behind the scenes.
