Director's Note
By Ashley Carlson
"For nearly [130] years this story has given faithful service to the young in heart; and time has been powerless to put its timely philosophy out of fashion. To those of you who have been faithful to it in return, and to the young in heart, we dedicate this show.”
- Victor Fleming (MGM director of The Wizard of Oz, 1939)
The Wizard of Oz carries great philosophies. Simple philosophies, and yet most people forget them. That everyone has a brain, everyone has a heart, everyone has courage. These are the gifts that are given when you are born and if you use them properly, you’ll reach the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. And that pot of gold is a home. And that home isn’t a house. It’s people who love you and that you love. That’s a home. We could all do to remember these great philosophical messages when life feels hard, that if you have love, you already have everything you need.
