Welcome to the Official Digital Program for Le Croix Academy's Spring 2023 Production of Ruby Slippers! 

On this page you will find the story summary, production order, and other important tidbits! 
We hope you enjoy the show!

Ruby Slippers Story Summary:

Years after the original story, Dorothy is still having dreams of her time in Oz; however, her newest dream is a bit different than usual. Westley Witcherton, granddaughter of the Wicked Witch of the West is dropped in Oz by some pretty intense weather. Her grandmother's flying monkeys present her with the elder's magic staff, but Westley doesn't know of its evil power and the staff quickly transforms her into her darkest self. Engulfed by this newfound power she decides to take over the Emerald City by capturing the Mayoress. The Emerald City Guards spring into action when they discover the Mayoress is missing, sending an S.O.S. message to Dorothy for help. But Dorothy can't find her ruby slippers - her only reliable way back to Oz. Maybe her friend Liona knows where they are? Will she be able to get the help of her friends - Glinda, Tina, and Scarlett in Oz? Will they be able to free the Mayoress and save Westley from the grips of the evil staff?

Or.... Will the Emerald City and Westley be lost forever?
