The Wizard of Odds:
An unusual road trip from Anchorage to Homer

This musical comedy, written by Sally Oberstein and Michael McKinney, loads the Mariner stage with a crew of fun-loving performers in this enchanting Alaskan version of the American classic. 

After an earthquake in Kansas, Dotty wakes up at the Ted Stevens International Airport, where a group of travel agents deems her a hero for accidentally killing an abusive TSA agent known for tattling on people (ding ****, the snitch is dead).  Some tour agents drop Dots off at a Girdwood bakery (ding ****, delicious bread) and direct her toward Homer.  She immediately meets three misfits who have their own reasons for wanting to see the Wizard of Odds. These characters include a simpleton who wishes he was smarter, a super wimp who wishes he wasn’t one, and a heartless letch looking for true love. With delays due to road construction, spawning salmon (ding ****, the fish are red), and slow-moving RVs (ding ****), their 4-hour drive becomes an adventure of zany circumstances, eclectic characters, and a miscellany of music styles until they finally meet the Wizard of Odds at the Salty Dawg, where everyone’s dreams come true.
