Join us for an enchanting evening in Oz (Park) as we explore timeless themes from "The Wizard of Oz" through a Unitarian Universalist lens, led by Rev. Jason Lydon and Brandon Nicks.
Discover a rich tapestry of values such as Liberation, Wisdom, Love, Courage, Feminism, Legacy, Journey/Self-Discovery, Inclusivity, Community & Cooperation, and Questioning Authority—all woven into the fabric of this beloved tale.
Celebrate significant milestones: 85 years since the film's release, 124 years since the book's publication in Chicago, and 20 years of the musical "Wicked." Experience how these narratives resonate with our 167-year legacy of compassion and justice, including contributions from members of our very own congregation to the legacy of Oz Park.
Don't miss this opportunity to journey with us through the magical world of Oz, quite literally, as we tour each statue (Dorothy and Toto, the Scarecrow, the Tinman, and the Cowardly Lion) and reflect on their significance. Every step brings us closer to understanding our own paths of exploration, courage, love, and wisdom.
All are welcome to attend—even your little dog, too! We will meet at the Dorothy and Toto statue at Webster & Orchard. You can't miss it—just follow the Yellow Brick Road.
