Church youth will present ‘Christmas in Oz’

Back row: Monkey Hayden Bracken, Dorothy Kira Denny, Wicked Witch Billie Crawshaw, Scarecrow CJ Denny, Bexel Emily Quinn, Hexel Lisa Quinn; Front row: Citizens of Oz Cadence Warfield and Kylah Warfield, Lion Logan Daniels, Glinda the Good Kamryn Daniels, Wizard’s Apprentice Anthony Austin, Tin Man Madison Lisman.

This month, the youth of Hays Christian Church present a theatrical performance titled “Christmas in Oz”.

Since Dorothy left Oz, a new Wicked Witch has taken over, and she and her minions have banned Christmas. Tin Man, Lion and Scarecrow have no hope until Glinda tells them she might be able to bring Dorothy back to Oz.

When Dorothy arrives, she finds things are not like they were when she left. It’s up to Dorothy and her friends — both old and new — to defeat the Witch and teach everyone about the true meaning of Christmas.

Performances are Friday, Dec. 12 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 14 at 10:45 a.m. Refreshments will be served after each performance. Admission is free and all are welcome.

Hays Christian Church is located at 22nd and Marshall Road. For more information, visit hayschristianchurch.org or call (785) 625-3100.
