Opening

Last spring director Peter Rothstein staged a memorable production of "Annie" at Children's Theatre Company. He is back at CTC to helm a revival of "The Wizard of Oz." The beloved show, based on the 1939 motion picture, features the Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg score. Maeve Moynihan, a Children's Theatre darling who played a munchkin in an earlier production, plays Dorothy. The big cast also includes deft physical comedians Dean Holt (Scarecrow), Reed Sigmund (Lion) and Max Wojtanowicz (Tin Man).
