The fifteenth annual St. Louis Fringe Festival showcases dozens of performances in multiple genres created by local and visiting artists.

🚨 IT'S OPENING NIGHT!

Why spend another Wednesday doomscrolling when you could watch three Dorothys create a multiversal Oz crisis?

🕖 7:00 PM
📍 The Marcelle Theatre (3310 Samuel Shepard Dr.)

Here's the situation:

✨ Dorothy (The Wiz) meets Dorothy (the OG).
✨ Glinda (Wicked) says, "Congrats, that's your problem now."
✨ They have to rescue yet another Dorothy (Return to Oz) before society does what society does best: fear the weird and try to lock it away.

Along the way you'll encounter:
🐒 Flying monkeys.
🛞 Wheelers.
🎭 Puppets.
🎶 Musical numbers.
😂 Dumb jokes. Smart jokes. Jokes that shouldn't work but absolutely do.

It's chaotic. It's heartfelt. It's deeply unserious until suddenly it isn't.

Basically: if every version of Oz got trapped in a blender and somehow came out making perfect sense.

🎟 THE WIZARD OF OZ(es) https://www.stlfringe.org/event-details/the-wizard-of-ozs

Only 4 performances!

💚 Aug. 5 • 7 PM (Opening Night!)
🌙 Aug. 7 • 10 PM (Late-night adults-only show)
💚 Aug. 8 • 7 PM
💚 Aug. 9 • 4 PM

Come get weird with us. The Wheelers have been waiting.

THE WIZARD OF OZ(es) a hilarious multiverse mashup of all your favorite Oz stories. When Dorothy (The Wiz) unexpectedly meets Dorothy (The Wizard of Oz), the pair soon encounter Glinda (Wicked), who sends them on a mission to rescue yet another Dorothy (Return to Oz) from a grim fate at the asylum.

🌪️ Apparently, the tornado is already picking up steam...

Huge thanks to Coby Rinke and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for the shout-out about our upcoming production of The Wizard of OZ(es), opening Wednesday, August 5!

Also, endless love to our friends at STLFringe for making us part of this year's Headliner Series. We're honored... and only slightly concerned about the number of Dorothys running around.

Come see what happens when one Oz just isn't enough. (Spoiler: chaos. Glorious, musical chaos.)

If you love "Wicked" or "The Wiz," don't miss this year's St. Lou Fringe Fest, which kicks off Aug. 3.

Now in its 15th year, the festival will feature a mashup of various "Wizard of Oz" universes — plus a puppet show, “Dear Evan Hansen,” and more.

🚨 ONE. WEEK. OUT. 🚨

Next Wednesday at 7 PM, the curtain goes up and the chaos begins.

After a summer of questionable choices, excellent ideas, and at least one "trust the process" moment, your favorite weird little Cherokee Street theater gremlins are finally ready to unleash The Wizard of OZ(es) on the world.

We think it's pretty great... but we also willingly made this show, so our opinions are deeply compromised. 👀

🌪️ Weird? Yes.
👠 Wild? Absolutely.
🧙 Multiple Ozes? You bet.

Only 4 performances, so don't wait until a flying monkey reminds you.

🎟️ Tickets: https://www.stlfringe.org/event-details/the-wizard-of-ozs

Cherokee Street Theater Co. is thrilled to partner with STLFringe to bring this delightfully unhinged adventure to the stage.

Calling all Return to Oz survivors... we know you're out there. 😅

You didn't think we'd build an Oz multiverse and not invite the most nightmare-fueling residents of them all, did you?

That's right... the Wheelers are rolling in. Childhood trauma? Included at no extra charge.

🎟️ Grab your tickets before they roll away!

The Wizard of OZ(es) made possible through our partnership with the good folks at STLFringe!

We're popping onto KTRS today at 4:20 (😉) to spill the tea on STLFringe and The Wizard of OZ(es), opening August 5 at the Marcelle Theatre. Give us a listen, then come get weird with us at the Fringe. 🌪️✨

07/22/2026

Opening night is coming in HOT—less than two weeks to go. 👠✨

If you're looking for something weird, wild, and wonderfully nostalgic, The Wizard of OZ(es) at STLFringe is just what you need. It's a live parody with all the chaos, camp, and questionable decisions you could ask for.

Don't get left in Kansas. 🌪️
