Macon Little Theatre’s poster for “The Wizard of Oz”

As the end of 2013 approaches, there are only a couple of chances left this year to enjoy local, live theater. In December, Theatre Macon and Macon Little Theatre will both present familiar musicals for the holidays.

Macon Little Theatre will present “The Wizard of Oz,” beginning Dec. 6. This adaptation of the familiar story of Dorothy, played by Alexis Webb, and her little dog, was developed from the MGM screenplay adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s classic children’s novel. If you can’t make it on opening night, there will be plenty of chances to enjoy the Oscar-winning songs from the film with performances continuing through Dec. 15.

Tickets for “The Wizard of Oz” go on sale Dec. 2. Macon Little Theatre’s box office hours are Monday-Friday from 1–6 p.m. Shows are Wednesday through Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $18 for adults, $15 for senior citizens age 60+ and $10 for students ages 3–23. No children younger than 3 permitted.
