The Wizard of Oz is Coming to Pittsfield โ€“ And We Have Your Tickets!

By Berkshires Macaroni Kid July 14, 2021

Dorothy knows there's no place like home, and we know there's no place like the Berkshires for incredible outdoor theater! Berkshire Theatre Group is proud to announce performances of the Wizard of Oz this summer from July 23rd - August 15th.

BTG’s extensive education program is now serving 13,000 school children and this year our well-loved community production is back! Relive the classic tale of four unlikely friends on the adventure of a lifetime. Join America’s original heroine Dorothy as she leads her friends the Cowardly Lion, Tin Man and Scarecrow on a journey down the yellow brick road to the magical Emerald City. Set in Kansas during the 20th century, this brand new, reimagined musical adventure is full of world travelers, festive carnival’s and spectacular sideshows for families outside under the Big Tent on the grounds of Berkshire Theatre’s Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield. Featuring the classic songs, “Follow the Yellow Brick Road,” “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead,” and “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” The Wizard of Oz reminds us all, there really is no place like home.

This event will be held under an open-air tent in The Colonial Theatre parking lot. Seating is General Admission and based on party size and social distancing protocols.
