There’s No Place Like Oz

K-W Musical Productions (KWMP) invites you to audition for our upcoming production of The Wizard of Oz. Our intent is to present a new vision of this beloved classic for a new generation of performers and audiences alike.

KWMP’s production reimagines this timeless tale for a new generation — drawing from the heart of the original while infusing it with a bold, theatrical new vision. Expect the characters you love, the music you remember, and a few surprises that will ignite your imagination.

This is Oz like you’ve never seen it before — joyful, moving, and full of wonder. Join us as we rediscover a world where courage, heart, and friendship light the way… and there’s truly no place like home.

KWMP welcomes adults and some children aged 9 and up years to be part of this production.

KWMP is committed to increasing equal opportunity, diversity and a future of inclusivity.  We welcome and encourage persons of any identity, orientation, and ability to audition.
