Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Grand Rapids anymore!

Join the Grand Rapids Ballet School Junior Company somewhere over the rainbow for a magical tea party with Dorothy and her friends from the world premiere of The Wizard of Oz.

Get a picture with your favorite characters; enter the costume contest and the best Dorothy, Cowardly Lion, Tin Man, Scarecrow, and Wizard of Oz will all get a chance to go back stage and meet the real thing in person; and play trivia to win fun prizes.

You and your little munchkins will also enjoy afternoon tea in the French style at Grand Rapids’ best new restaurant, New Hotel Mertens.
