Reflections from the Oz Balloon

Well, final working rehearsal has come and gone. We had a good night. Worked out the last of the major teething problems.....my thanks to Ed, Theo, Sue, Theresa, Lux, Cork, Mary Ann, Rosie, and the rest of the crew for all their behind the scenes work....we couldn't do this with you.

I am so looking forward to seeing and hearing the audience reaction to the show...thank you cast for all your hard work....you have an amazing show and you definitely deserve to go out there and look good, sound good and feel good. Trust yourselves and trust your castmates.....

The vision of this show was to modernize the classic story of Wizard of Oz without touching the storyline, characters or songs. We've done that. From the awesome tornado sequence to our glam-evil Wicked Witch and green-tinted Ozians, and our special treats in the form of the Monkeys, Ghosts, Winkies, and Snowkins....we are sure to keep the audience on the edge of the seats, enthralled and anticipating....

A true community theatre production is one you can walk into and away from saying, "Wow. I'm glad I was part of this." I am glad to have been directing Wizard of Oz....and to surprise star in it. Playing both sides of the curtain has not been easy these last couple of weeks....but we've pulled it off.

We have an amazing set - utilizing minimalism, immensity, and great lighting, sets, and props.....
Enjoy everyone if you are coming to see the show....please stick around afterwards - I will come out and would love to hear your reactions and comments.....

Kudos cast and crew....thank you patrons and friends for coming.....

Curtains up!
Ted
