    The Wizard of Oz

    No need for a tornado to hit town – you just gotta buy a ticket to be transported to Oz. Zach Theatre bills this as an “immersive” Zach360 production of the iconic, Depression-era musical about a girl named Dorothy and a yellow brick road that leads to adventure.

    Words and Wonder: Rediscovering Children’s Literature

    One of the pleasures of having a first-rate research center and archive in town is how the Harry Ransom Center will regularly comb through its own vast holdings and hand-pick gems to present in a new context. Hence the HRC’s latest exhibit, “Words and Wonder: Rediscovering Children’s Literature,” which pulls from its manuscript, art, photography, film, and performing arts holdings to spotlight early 20th-century authors and illustrators catering to a young readership. The exhibit includes magic lantern slides from Aesop’s Fables, John Tenniel’s illustrations of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and Ernest H. Shepard’s indelible images from the Hundred Acre Wood, among other treats. Runs through August 17. – Kimberley Jones
