Reel Opinions with WGTE In-Person
On Thursday, January 20th at 2 pm, Way Library and WGTE present one hour of “American Oz” from “American Experience.” This show explores the life and times of author L. Frank Baum, the creator of one of the most beloved, enduring and classic American narratives. By 1900, when The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was published, Baum was 44 years old and had spent much of his life in restless pursuit of success. During his travels to the Great Plains and on to Chicago during the American frontier’s final days, he witnessed a nation coming to terms with the economic uncertainty of the Gilded Age. He never lost his childlike sense of wonder and eventually crafted his observations into a magical tale of survival, adventure and self-discovery, reinterpreted through the generations in films, books and musicals.
Masks are now required for all indoor Way Library programs, regardless of vaccination status.
