Great job to the cast and crew for the Opening Night of Wizard of Oz.
Playing to a house of 350 people (78% full) you guys rocked the stage. I was able to watch some of it from the side of the house and the audience was really into it.....I've heard comments that people were on the edge of their seats...
So many awesome moments from the tornado scene, Dorothy getting the ruby slippers (one little girl asked her mother why her shoes couldn't be magic like that), to the Great Big Head!
Ghosts and Monkeys took the audience by storm....great job! Winkies - fantastic!
The title characters all did fantastic....you guys looked and sounded amazing. I can't say enough - WOW.
We've also initiated another "only in Franklin" story too. Last night, Jeri (one our Ozian/Trees) was at a trial in the courthouse (she is a public defender). The judge recessed the trial so she could come to the theatre to play her part of the tree! "She even has lines" everyone was told. AMAZING. That's what theatre means to this community.
Many thanks to our orchestra, sound and lighting guys, pyrotechnicians from Kellners, the costumers and props persons.....
KUDOS AND BIG HUGS ALL AROUND TO EVERYONE....
