Tall Tales: Defying Gravity

"Tall Tales" takes familiar characters from beloved stories and flips the script—audiences experience the story through the eyes of the supposed villain!

By diving into a world where “good” and “bad” aren’t always as they seem, participants are encouraged to develop empathy and see things from a new perspective.

Defying Gravity

Have you ever heard of the Wizard of Oz? If so, you may know the Wicked Witch of the West and the Good with of the South, but do you know about the Good Witch of the North?!

Meet Luna, the unsung hero of the magical land of Oz! As the courageous ruler of Gillikin Country, Luna stands up to the wicked Mombi, who seeks to enslave the Gillikins. With the help of a wise elder amed Ash and the enthusiastic audience, Luna shows the power of kindness, confidence, and resilience.

Children will be swept into this interactive adventure, where they’ll step into the story and play a role in Luna’s journey to help her people. Through teamwork, imagination, and fun, participants will learn valuable lessons while helping Luna defy the odds!
