In “The Wizard of Oz,” the tinman wants a heart, the scarecrow a brain, the lion wants courage. And, of course, Dorothy wants to go home.
Auntie Em, Uncle Henry, and Professor Marvel also want Dorothy to return safely home.
Their neighbor Almira Gulch wants to capture Dorothy’s dog, Toto.
Is the Wizard of Oz a charlatan, like Professor Marvel? Or is he a bumbling, absent-minded imposter?
And, of course, Dorothy must overcome obstacles before she can return home.
And then there is the wicked witch, the Munchkins, the monkeys, the hired hands, and of course, Glinda, the good witch, or is she a witch?
