Northern Beaches Youth Theatre presents the international premiere of Gale by Emily Golden; a fresh, funny and heartfelt play inspired by The Wizard of Oz, exploring what “there’s no place like home” means when you’re the new kid at school. When Gale is uprooted into a strange new environment, minus her dog and facing off against the queen bee and her flying cheerleaders, she must find her courage, her people, and a new sense of belonging.

Set in a modern high school world with a magical twist, this production is packed with sharp humour, big feelings, important issues and a whole lot of heart, making it a perfect outing out for teens, families and local theatre lovers. Audiences can expect a fast‑paced youth ensemble performance that blends pop‑culture references with timeless themes of home, friendship and healing.

Gale runs from June 18th - 27th, 2026 at 10 Jubilee Ave, Warriewood, proudly produced by Northern Beaches Youth Theatre.

Please note that Gale has a PG rating due to mild swear words used within context of the story.
