Boulder Ballet School’s “The Wizard of Oz”: 2 p.m. Saturday, Dairy Arts Center, 2590 Walnut St., Boulder. Boulder Ballet School presents the beloved story, “The Wizard of Oz.” Told through dance, this hour-long production is perfect for the whole family. There once was a young girl named Dorothy, who lived with her Auntie Em in the rural plains of Kansas. She lived a simple life and spent all of her time with her small dog, Toto. One day, Almira, a nosy neighbor, tries to capture Dorothy’s dog to send it away, claiming Toto is causing too much trouble. During this scuffle, a horrible twister touches down and causes a great disaster. Dorothy and Toto are swept away, and the twister drops them in the mysterious Land of Oz — a vibrant world overflowing with new friends, animals, witches and a peculiar wizard. $20-$35, thedairy.org.
