One of the most beloved family musicals of all time comes to Shuswap Theatre. Join Dorothy and Toto, along with their new friends, the Cowardly Lion, The Tin Man and Scarecrow as they follow the yellow brick road to find the Wizard of Oz, whom they are sure will help Dorothy get back to Kansas. Along the way they face many challenges  – a wicked witch, flying monkeys and sleep inducing plants – but together they find the resources to carry on.

A Red Plaid Shirt

by Michael Wilmot

Directed by Frank Manning

Two friends fill the void left by retirement in different ways; Marty decides he wants to explore the open road on a Harley while Fred decides to pay more attention to his health, inventing many new ailments along the way. With a little “subtle redirection” from their wives and a creative solution to a very unusual problem they find the right track… eventually. Plenty of laughs.

Seen through the eyes of a young woman, this warm hearted drama could be taking place in kitchens everywhere.

Will this loving family survive the resulting conflict intact?
