NOW AVAILIBLE: OUR REVIEW
The Speakeasy Society’s Kansas Collection has been a fun romp through the lore of the Oz books, and now reaches its first big beat: the wedding of Special Officer Phoebe Daring and the Scarecrow King himself.
This chapter is designed for both returning “recruits” and those who are new to the story, with ticket options tied to the storylines that people have been following and a whole new track for first-timers. It’s also the biggest chapter yet, clocking in at 90 minutes.
So whether you’ve been following the story since the beginning or just oh-so-curious as to what the fuss is about, this is your opportunity.
