    Home and belonging. Almost from the moment that a cyclone sends her to the strange Land of Oz, Dorothy is determined to find a way back home to Kansas and her Aunt Em. Our production of The Wizard of Oz will emphasize one of the novel's main points: that everyone has somewhere they truly belong, and good always triumphs over evil. Performances at Sacred Heart Griffin Auditorium.

    Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a young girl named Rapunzel that is being held in a tower by a witch. A prince discovers her because of her long, golden hair, which leads to her escape from the tower and their happy life together. The story teaches us that love and perseverance can overcome even the greatest challenges, and that true freedom and happiness are worth fighting for. Rapunzel concludes the SYPG children’s summer dance camp (June 1-5, 2026). Camp and performances at The Grant Conservatory of Music and Dance.
