This classic story continues Friday through Sunday at Indian Trail High School Auditorium, 6800 60th St.

“The Wizard of Oz” tells the story of Dorothy, a Kansas farm girl who travels over the rainbow to discover the magical power of home. This version of “Oz” was written by John Kane and is based on the 1939 movie (itself based on the 1900 novel “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” by L. Frank Baum). This version was first staged in 1987 by the Royal Shakespeare Company and sticks closely to the film version, including keeping every word of the screenplay.

Performances are 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $5 for students, $10 for senior citizens (55 and older) and $12 for adults. For tickets, to go www.kusd.edu. Tickets are also sold at the door.

“On Golden Pond” is running weekends through Sunday at the Racine Theatre Guild.

The drama, which premiered on Broadway in 1979, focuses on Ethel and Norman Thayer, who have spent every summer over the last 48 years at their lake home on Golden Pond. This year, their daughter comes to visit and brings her boyfriend’s son to stay with them. He and Norman form an unexpected bond during the visit.

The play was adapted by playwright Ernest Thompson into a 1981 film, starring Katharine Hepburn and Henry Fonda (in his final acting performance) in the lead roles, with Jane Fonda playing their daughter.

Tickets are $13-$18 at www.racinetheatre.org. Performances are 7:30 p.m. Friday, 2 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. There is also a “Value Night” performance at 7 tonight (Jan. 23). Tickets for that show are $9-$14.
