Toy Town: The Land of Lost Identities

Toy Town is a Wizard of Oz-like journey into the mind of a teenage girl struggling with family pressures and the world's woes. We follow her into a wild, magical land of lost dolls and action figures, all trapped in a mega superstore. If they can reclaim what they have lost, they and our heroine can find their way home. If not, all of them will be lost forever!

The production features the Destiny Arts Youth Performance Company, a multicultural group of teens who create dynamic productions with the support of professional artists, combining hip hop, modern, and aerial dance with theater, song, and rap.  The eight show run will also feature guest appearances from the Destiny Junior Company. The Destiny Arts Youth Performance Company has performed locally and nationally since 1993 for up to 25,000 audience members annually. 

Destiny Arts Center is a violence prevention and arts education nonprofit for youth ages 3- 18. Our after-school, weekend, and summer programs in dance, theater, martial arts, self- defense, performance, and youth leadership teach young people lifelong skills and practices to lead peaceful lives. For 24 years, Destiny has served thousands of youth annually at our Oakland arts center and in up to 45 East Bay public schools.
