When fairy tale space becomes great stage art
Consol Theater relies on its own adaptation of L. Frank Baum and shapes a vibrant stage experience full of movement, humor, and specially composed music. The story of Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Lion unfolds on stage with a blend of adventure, warmth, and tension that immediately resonates with young audiences. The production builds on the strengths of the theater, which has stood out since 2001 with frequently awarded works for young audiences and a clear narrative style.

A journey full of trials, images, and hope
At the center is the long path to the Emerald City, that mythical space where desire and reality rub against each other. Indeed, the strength of the material lies in this: Those seeking mind, heart, courage, and home recognize themselves in the characters. The theater transforms this narrative into not just a classic evening but a child-friendly, sensory ensemble performance with a clear emotional line. This creates an evening for families that elegantly combines theater atmosphere and fairy tale magic. ([consoltheater.de](https://www.consoltheater.de/spielplan?utm_source=openai))
