This production intricately weaves together Dorothy's journey from a joyful, free-spirited girl surrounded by a loving family to a young woman confronting profound loss and inner struggles. After the tragic death of her parents, Dorothy is thrust into a challenging life with her abusive aunt, prompting her to grapple with feelings of confusion and longing. Her journey takes her to Munchkin Land and along the yellow brick road, where she meets the Scarecrow, the Lion, and the Tin Man, each embodying her anxieties, fears, and emotional detachment. Together, they confront the Wicked Witch, a manifestation of Dorothy's harsh self-criticism and insecurities. Following this tumultuous encounter, they find solace in the Emerald City, where Dorothy discovers a book filled with messages of radical love and identity. This newfound wisdom empowers each character to transform: the Lion finds courage, the Scarecrow gains clarity, and the Tin Man awakens to compassion. In a climactic moment, they face the witch again, ultimately melting her away, symbolizing their collective healing. The piece concludes with Dorothy returning to her aunt, sharing her journey of transformation and inspiring her aunt's healing, illustrating the profound impact of love and the importance of connection in overcoming adversity.
