For what it's worth-All of Baum's 14 original Oz books have passed into public domain. So long as you are not doing things that visually suggest the MGM film, and instead go back to the Denslow/Neill illustrations, you could, if you had the time, write your own.
I realize this may not be feasible, but it's an option.

Hello,
I am trying to find a good Wizard of Oz script that is not a musical and that is not aimed at elementary age students. I would like to put this show on at the high school level so that it can challenge my students creatively in design as well as draw in younger audiences from the community. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thank you
