Program Description
Event Details
If you hail from Kansas, you've likely been bombarded with a tornado of Wizard of Oz jokes. "Where's Dorothy?" "You're not in Kansas anymore!" "I'm melting! I'm melting!" Sound familiar? But what you might not know is the enchanting backstory of L. Frank Baum's iconic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Join us as we dive into the whimsical world of the first truly American fairy tale and its spellbinding influence on our culture, from language to music to media. This presentation pulls back the curtain on Baum, the wizard behind OZ. Presented by the ever-curious Chris Glasgow.
