  Opening weekend of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz at Adventure Theatre_MTC was huge success. We had three sold out performances. Children and adults alike were enthralled and enchanted. We were all of us kids again, dreaming of a new and wondrous world. I'm so excited that we're open, but never want this experience to end. It's been such a rich, rewarding and magnificent adventure with an extraordinary team of artists. For those of you in the area, I hope you're able to attend.
