Sandy • If you’ve seen the 1939 movie “The Wizard of Oz,” there’s not much new in Hale Centre Theatre’s production. It’s a faithful adaptation of the film.
But this is theater — a different experience — and HCT goes big, with moments that inject magic into the story of Dorothy Gale’s trip over the rainbow to the land of Oz.
Thanks to the wizards who built and run the Centre Stage theater at Hale’s location in Sandy, the stage rotates, sections rise and fall, sets ascend and descend, yellow brick roads extend from the corners of the theater-in-the-round, and everything from wicked witches to houses, a big balloon to an unexplained biplane fly or float overhead.
