The worlds of Oz and Wonderland collide in this fantastically fun musical romp, cleverly and carefully adapted from the works of L. Frank Baum and Lewis Carroll.<\/p>
It's natural that Dorothy and Alice would become instant friends if they met. After all they're both girls who want to return home from the fantasy worlds in which they find themselves.<\/p>
Dorothy, Toto, and the characters of Oz get caught in another whirlwind that sweeps them off to Wonderland, where they meet Alice, the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat and many more!<\/p>
It's truly a mad, musical adventure!<\/p>

Noises off has been called the funniest farce ever written. It presents a manic menagerie of a mediocre touring theatre company rehearsing a flop called Nothing's On.<\/p>
It hilariously portrays the show's deterioration from a shaky dress rehearsal to a chaotic backstage nightmare, and finally to a completely nonsensical performance by the end of the tour. Slamming doors, on and offstage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this high energy comedy.<\/p>
