DOT Productions presents The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

Step onto the Yellow Brick Road this summer with DOT Productions’ magical family theatre adventure, Frank L. Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In this fast-paced 60-minute production, Dorothy is swept into a dazzling world where nothing is quite as it seems and adventure waits around every corner. Along the way she encounters curious companions, peculiar places, and powerful forces that test courage, kindness, and belief. Bursting with fun, silliness, and lively songs, this fantastical retelling sparkles with imagination and theatrical magic. Created for families and audiences of all ages, DOT Productions brings its signature warmth and playfulness to Baum’s timeless tale. A joyful celebration of wonder and friendship, this summer adventure reminds us all that there’s no place like home.

More about Wakes Colne

Essex, England

Wakes Colne sits quietly in Essex with a charm that feels like a well-kept secret to anyone driving past. Without any big venues on the doorsteps, the real fun happens at local community halls and pubs where neighbours gather for a chat or a game of darts. It is a place where the calendar fills up with village fairs and seasonal markets rather than huge productions. We keep an eye on what's coming so you can plan your Sunday stroll without needing to check a dozen different sites.
