If you’re the kind of person who likes your spooky season with a side of story, In the Land of Oz might just be your new fall favorite.
It’s not a haunted house, and it’s definitely not The Wizard of Oz you grew up with. Instead, this immersive experience turns a familiar fairytale into something eerie, cinematic, and just unsettling enough to keep you on your toes.
You start in a roadside museum in Kansas — a place that feels like it’s seen better days — and before you know it, the world cracks open. What waits beyond isn’t a technicolor dreamland but a moody, shadowy Oz filled with lost souls, rebel camps, and flickering lights that seem to move when you’re not looking. Live actors guide you (and sometimes surprise you) as you move through the story, and while there are a few spooky moments, it’s more mysterious than terrifying.
The whole thing feels like walking through a dark fantasy film, but it’s one you get to help shape. It’s creative, immersive, and atmospheric in a way that’ll stick with you long after you step back into the real world.
In the Land of Oz runs through November 2 at 1165 Dublin Rd., with shows Thursday through Sunday. You can learn more about the production, or snag your tickets, by clicking right here.
Have a good trip to Oz, my friends!
