The director Mark Carter discusses the new CTORA Theatre production of The Wizard of Oz (03-12 November 2023 at the Granville Island Stage) with Joseph Planta.

Text of introduction by Joseph Planta:

I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.

Mark Carter joins me again. CTORA Theatre is back with a new production, The Wizard of Oz. It’s the Royal Shakespeare Company version, and I’ll ask Mr. Carter about what we’ll see at the Granville Island Stage starting this Friday, 03 November 2023, and running until 12 November 2023. Mark is the director of this production, and I’ll ask him about the technical elements that will be part of this show, as well ask about the cast, and the themes in the work based on the L. Frank Baum book. The music and lyrics are by Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg. Visit www.ctora.ca for tickets and information. There’s something in this show for all ages. Please welcome back to the Planta: On the Line program, Mark Carter; Mr. Carter, good morning.
