Cloak & Dagger On the Air returns for its fall season this Saturday, Sept. 20, 2025, at 4 p.m. at the Top of West Virginia Convention and Visitors Bureau for a brand-new adaptation written by Pete Fernbaugh of L. Frank Baum’s classic novel, "The Marvelous Land of Oz."
Admission is free, although donations are always appreciated. Doors open at 3:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be available.
Performed in the style of live radio drama, "Cloak & Dagger On the Air: The Marvelous Land of Oz" will also be livestreamed via The Ohio Valley Cloak & Dagger Company Facebook page.
“After the success of our adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s first Oz novel, 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,' and the way in which our cast and audience embraced these unique and timeless characters, I knew I wanted to continue the series with the second novel,” Pete Fernbaugh, Cloak & Dagger’s head writer and co-executive producer, said. “I love playing in his sandbox. The scenarios and adventures are brilliantly creative and appeal as much to adults as they do to children. You’re never quite sure where each novel is headed, which speaks to their originality as well.”
"The Marvelous Land of Oz" will be performed by Cloak & Dagger On the Air’s acting troupe, The Wayward Saints: Rob DeSantis, Bethany Fernbaugh, David Gaudio, Robert J. Gaudio, Noah Hilton, Jeffrey Holmes, Nancy Longo, Karissa Martin, Malachi McClendon, Nathaniel McClendon, Clare McDonald, Abby Perry, Nora Perry, Terri Perry, and Dave Zanieski. Sound effects for the production will be created by Cloak & Dagger On the Air’s sound effects team, the Holy Foley Molies, and the score by classical musician Roberta Fedoush is derived from the 1902 musical, "The Wizard of Oz," by Baum and Paul Tietjens.
Top of WV CVB is located at 243 Three Springs Drive, Suite 17, in Weirton, W.Va., behind Crazy Mexican, next to Weirton Pet Spa, and across the parking lot from Bistro 303 Prime Cuisine.
“We encourage folks to set aside some extra time to check out the local businesses around us,” Fernbaugh said. “Three Springs Drive is filled with many dining and shopping opportunities. We hope our show can bring some traffic their way.”
