Join Dorothy and her loyal companion Toto as they “Follow the Yellow Brick Road” through the Land of Oz, determined to reach the Emerald City, where the great and powerful Wizard of Oz will help them get home. Of course, along the way, Dorothy encounters witches (both good and bad), Munchkins, talking trees and winged monkeys. But most importantly, she befriends three unique characters: a Scarecrow with no brain, a Tin Man with no heart, and a Lion with no “nerve.” Their journey to happiness – and self-awareness – is a glowing testament to friendship, understanding and hope in a world filled with both beauty and ugliness.
Public performances are September 12-13 & 19-20 with school performances on September 10 & 17.

Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser and the Louisiana State Museum are set to host an event commemorating the Battle of Baton Rouge and the dedication of Louisiana’s first Chaters for Freedom monument on Saturday, September 19, 2026.
The morning will begin at 9 a.m. with the Louisiana Society of the Sons of the Revolution's commemoration of the Battle of Baton Rouge, honoring the pivotal Revolutionary War battle fought on September 21, 1779, in which Spanish Governor Bernardo de Gálvez and his multinational forces captured the British-held fort at Baton Rouge. The annual ceremony pays tribute to those who fought for liberty and recognizes Louisiana's important role in the American Revolution.
Immediately following the commemoration will be the dedication of Louisiana's first Charters of Freedom Monument on the grounds of Capitol Park Museum. Baton Rouge will become the first in Louisiana to receive the monument which features full-size replicas of the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Civil Rights Amendments in a display modeled after the National Archives in Washington, D.C.
Robotics teams from area schools will demonstrate their skills at the Union Museum of History and Art.
The event is in association with the museum's NASA exhibit on loan from the Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama. Teams confirmed so far are from Union Parish High School, Downsville Community Charter School, and D'Arbonne Woods Charter School.
Robotics are a key element in space exploration, most notably the current Mars robot rovers: Curiosity and Perseverance. NASA is planning a permanent lunar outpost, known as Moon Base, which will rely heavily on robotic systems before astronauts arrive.
