Out of the Dust

Regional A version available by request

In Out of the Dust, an elderly woman reflects on her life in Kansas during the Dust Bowl. As she recalls a particularly fierce storm, the haunting strains of "Dust in the Wind" underscore the despair and resilience of those dark times. As the storm settles, the music shifts to the familiar notes of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." A startling revelation emerges—this woman is Dorothy Gale, who insists that her childhood journey to Oz was real. Her tale blurs the line between reality and fantasy, merging her survival during the Dust Bowl with her unforgettable adventure in Oz.
