Center Theatre Group presents the return of TheaterWorksUSA’s production “El Otro Oz,” a bilingual musical inspired by The Wizard of Oz from March 29-April 13 at the Kirk Douglas Theatre.

This production is part of CTG: FWD which began with theatrical special events, community gatherings and legacy projects and now expands to include an eclectic offering of plays and musicals at Center Theatre Group venues.

“El Otro Oz|” is a bilingual musical by Mando Alvarado, Tommy Newman and Jaime Lozano, which returns to the Kirk Douglas Theatre in a reimagined production. Guests will click their heels together “tres veces” and take a transformative journey with the salsa, merengue and Mexican folk-infused musical inspired by “The Wizard of Oz.”

As her fifteenth birthday approaches, Dora, a contemporary Latina teenager, struggles with her family’s ideas about tradition and dreads her impending quinceañera. But, when Dora gets swept away to a strange new land, she learns how to celebrate her unique rhythm and embrace her cultural identity.

Tickets and information are available at centertheatregroup .org. The show is recommended for everyone ages 6 and up. The Kirk Douglas Theatre is located at 9820 Washington Blvd, Culver City.
