About the Project
Angie McDormitt’s (self-proclaimed intersectional theater-maker and human soul) dream is to bring her own modern retelling of The Wizard of Oz to 2025 audiences. With a few last-minute dropouts, big egos, and tech snafus, the production does not go exactly as she imagined.
Sepulveda Basin Community Theatre and Angie McDormitt present THE MODERN WIZARD OF OZ. The production starts with 12 actors; let’s see how many they end up with. Yes, the board-op may only be here for college class credit but they’re gonna do a great job, right? So what if Angie’s mother is filling in? She’ll be fine! What else could possibly go wrong with this motley crew??
For fans of “The Play That Goes Wrong.”

CONTENT WARNING (FOR PARENTS TO CONSIDER): One character is drunk, a couple is overly handsy with each other, “sexual harassment training” is mentioned but never goes into detail, the word nazi is used in passing (does not show any nazi propaganda or condone nazism), and there is a sexy dance where a man shows his chest.
This show is appropriate for children, but not made for children. It is meant to be enjoyed by adults who are welcome to bring their kids, who can sit through an hour play.
