ALL performances are relaxed/sensory friendly and feature ASL interpretation and open captioning.There will be audio-described performances on the second weekend. This adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s beloved tale, features the iconic musical score from the MGM film. Our production values, sets, costumes, singing and choreography are off the hook and we present The Wizard of Oz in the inclusive and authentic way that makes Open Door Theater a home for so many of us.

This is a don't-miss production with an all-star cast, over half of whom self-identify as having Deafness, disabilities and/or identify as a minority/marginalized identity and reflect our multi-generational and multicultural approach to inclusiveness.

Our production team is Margot Law, Director, Kathryn Denney, Musical Director, Becky Robichaud, Choreographer, Kristin Johnson, Director of Artistic Sign Language, Jess Penney, Stage Manager, and Sam Gould and Dawn Gomez, Producers.
