SARATOGA SPRINGS – The cast (39 children strong, ranging from ages eight to sixteen), crew and one remarkable dog are set to perform for you!
Saratoga Children’s Theatre will present the timeless classic The Wizard of Oz this weekend at the Saratoga Music Hall, 474 Broadway. Performances are Friday, Oct. 24 at 7 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 25 at 2 and 7 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 26 at 2 p.m.
Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for children at the door. I have it on good authority that Toto is so psyched to be with this bunch, he promises one of his greatest performances in his long, storied career! If that’s not enough reason, consider watching the future of singing and acting talent in this region as a bonus for venturing over the rainbow this weekend:
