St. Luke’s Theatre presents the Wizard of Oz: “The Wizard of Oz” is a beloved tale of life’s journey through family, friendship and self-discovery. It is about the family we are born into and grow up with, and the family we develop with those who become part of our lives as we travel down our own Yellow Brick Road. This version has been scripted by comedy writers Greg Gamble and Lee Howard, and though not the version you’re familiar with, its parody, satire and abstract nonsense will leave you in stitches. Performances will take place on Nov. 8 through Nov. 10 and Nov. 15 through Nov. 17.
