Specialising in interactive, family-friendly productions, Immersion Theatre brings its colourful take on The Wizard of Oz to Milton Country Park this August. Click your heels and ease on down the road with Dorothy and co to find the mysterious wizard, enjoying plenty of music, singing and laughter along the way. Immersion Theatre’s artistic director James Tobias comments: “I am incredibly excited to be directing the show for the sixth time! I always look forward to reviving this show in particular – it’s a firm audience favourite and for good reason. We’ve followed the story everyone knows and loves closely, mixing it with bags of audience participation, comedy for all ages, and some frustratingly catchy songs! This really is an amazing family experience; you’ll laugh, join in and leave thoroughly entertained, having had a special day out. I can’t wait to welcome you all to Oz!” The show takes place on 2 August. For full details and to book, visit immersiontheatre.co.uk
