Between children's room and magic realm
The story takes Dorothee to the land of Oos, a fairy-tale alternative world where the familiar tips over and adventures begin. The title consciously refers to a loving distortion of the well-known Oz material and places childlike imagination at the center. The piece is designated as a play based on Lyman Frank Baum; thus, it represents a tradition of children’s and family stages that has been alive for generations through longing, departure, and the search for one's own courage.

Direction, rhythm, and the power of storytelling
Especially in children's and youth theater, dramaturgy decides the tension: clear images, precise scene changes, tangible characters, and a logic of play that the audience never loses track of. The play schedule of the ADK Regensburg also features The Wizard of Oos as a play based on Lyman Frank Baum, demonstrating that the material is currently present on multiple stages as a lively family production. For Freising, this means: a compact, accessible theater experience that directly addresses young viewers. ([adk-bayern.com](https://www.adk-bayern.com/akademietheater/spielplan?utm_source=openai))
