Orchard Ridge Campus - Smith Theatre

Beanie Boren has invented a book-reading machine for the science fair. Unfortunately, the machine is neither user-friendly nor bug-free. When Beanie turns it on, out pop the witches from Snow White, Hansel and Gretel and The Wizard of Oz, each set to wreak havoc on the real world now!   Enlisting the help of the good guys from the same stories to re-enact their endings, can Beanie battle the witches and save both worlds?  The OCC Orchard Ridge Theatre program presents affordable, quality entertainment for the whole family. Tickets $5 for Adults and students. The tickets are $2 for children under 12 years old and accompanied by an adult.
