An emerald adventure in martini-Park

When an emerald green hot air balloon appears outside her window, Doro begins a journey that takes her straight into the legendary land of Oz. The State Theatre Augsburg presents Sergej Gößner's family piece for Christmas based on Lyman Frank Baum on November 28, 2026, in martini-Park.

Doro follows the path of the six emeralds

Doro often feels alone: her father works nights, she has little interest in other children, and her imagination finds a home in the digital game Emerald City. Then a mysterious balloon breaks her out of her daily routine. In Oz, Doro must collect six emeralds and bring them to the wizard to find her way back home.

Between Scarecrow, Tin Woman, and Lion

On her journey, Doro meets an unusual community: a distracted scarecrow, a lovesick tin woman, and a lion who lacks courage. Annette Müller's staging combines humor, adventure, and fairy-tale imagery with a contemporary pop culture perspective.

A production about self-worth

Gößner's stage adaptation shifts the focus of the well-known fairy tale: not only the journey to the wizard is central, but also the question of where personal value and inner strength lie. The dramaturgy by Melanie Pollmann transforms it into a coming-of-age journey, where friendship, self-confidence, and solidarity become the most important treasures.

Set design, costumes, and lighting as magical tools

Julia Nussbaumer's set design opens the way into a colorful fantasy world, while Lise Kruse's costumes place the characters between fairy-tale exaggeration and modern pop aesthetics. The music by Michael Lohmann and the lighting design by Ron Heinrich create an atmospheric stage world where the everyday and the magical intertwine.

A stage experience for the whole family

The acting skills of Franka Forkel, Thomas Prazak, Jenny Langner, Mehdi Salim, Jannis Roth, and the entire ensemble carry the production through their changing tones: comical, touching, fast-paced, and always close to the perspective of their young main character. The State Theatre Augsburg recommends the performance for ages eight and up.

Conclusion

The Wizard of Oz promises a radiant family theatre experience with fantastic characters, a musical atmosphere, and a dramaturgically modern story about courage and self-worth. Those who wish to experience the famous road to the Emerald City live will find a colorful stage experience in martini-Park for the pre-Christmas season.
