Please note that we will be holding a block of tickets to be claimed on a first-come, first-served basis at the theatre, starting 45 minutes prior to curtain. This is to ensure equity for audience members who do not have easy access to register for tickets online.
Also, any unclaimed tickets will be released at curtain time. Latecomers are not guaranteed seating.

With the help of new friends Scarecrow, Tinman, and the Cowardly Lion, they’ll follow the Yellow Brick Road to find the wonderful Wizard of Oz – but watch out for the Wicked Witch of the West! This version has been shortened for younger audiences, but still contains all the songs and moments that make this a beloved classic.

R2P is in the business of youth development, helping raise our community’s children and making excellent theatre in the process. Learn more about R2P…

Support R2P
Free participation for every student and audience member is only possible when folks who can chip in monthly become R2Patrons. Think of it like NPR - content is made available for free, but those who are able to donate, do so to keep it available for all. (Plus, like NPR, there are nifty thank you gifts, too!) Thank you for helping us make theatre accessible to everyone in our community…
Mission Statement:
Running to Places (R2P) is a youth development organization that seeks to foster a safe and supportive community where any interested youth has the opportunity to learn important life skills through theatre.
