Registration opens August 4, 2026@10:00am Autism Ontario is excited to partner with the Lighthouse Theatre in Port Dover for a production of the “Wizard of Oz” by Young Company. “When a Kansas farm girl named Dorothy gets swept away by a tornado (as one does), she lands in the colourful land of Oz and is immediately tasked with a rather inconvenient mission: travel to the Emerald City and ask the mysterious Wizard for help getting home. Along the way, she picks up a Scarecrow who needs a brain, a Tin Man who wants a heart, and a Lion who is very enthusiastic about courage… in theory. Toss in a vengeful witch who’s green, grumpy, and has a very strong opinion about who should (and absolutely should not) be wearing those ruby slippers. Expect flying monkeys, magical mayhem, big laughs, and enough youthful energy to power a tornado. After all, there’s no place like Lighthouse!” Accessibility: Lighthouse Theatre is committed to providing our patrons with accessible washrooms and seating, an elevator as well as assisted hearing devices so your theatre experience is fun and comfortable.
