There’s no place like home!
As our way of thanking the community for their incredible support in helping us achieve our 2025 Annual Appeal goal, we are planning a free screening of the beloved 1939 family classic The Wizard of Oz at the Waterville Opera House. Come early and make your own wicked (or good) witch wand!
Young Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland) and her dog Toto are swept away by a tornado from their Kansas farm to the magical Land of Oz and embark on a quest with three new friends—the Scarecrow (Ray Bolger), the Tin Man (Jack Haley), and the Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr)—to see the Wizard of Oz (Frank Morgan), who can return her to her home and fulfill the others’ wishes. But in order to receive their wishes, they must retrieve the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton).
