A re-imagination of The Wizard of Oz viewed through a BIPOC and queer lens, Our Oz is an entirely new work being presented on stage for the first time. Professors José Casas (head of the playwriting minor in the Department of Theatre & Drama) and Jake Hooker (head of drama at the Residential College) have led an ensemble of students from SMTD and the Residential College in exploring and experimenting with the tropes and images of multiple renditions from the Land of Oz as originally conceived by L. Frank Baum. The resulting work is fresh, insightful, and reflective of the times we live in.
This event is for graduate students living in Michigan housing only. Unfortunately our funding for this event does not include kids and partners who are not students. Please email Laura M. Herbert (lmhmich@umich.edu) if you need additional accommodations.
