IT’S FINALLY HERE! 🌪️🌈 The moment you have all been waiting for has arrived! We are absolutely thrilled and incredibly grateful to announce the official cast list for Batesville Community Theatre’s production of The Wizard of Oz!

An immense thank you to every single person who came out and shared their talents with us.

A Note from the Director, Debbie McGilton:
“Wow! We were so privileged to have so many wonderful actors audition for The Wizard of Oz. We thank you for taking time out to do this. If you didn’t get cast, we are still hoping you will be a part of the production. We will need set assistance, costuming, and backstage assistance during the show. You can reach out to me (Debbie) at (870) 866-8647 for more details.”

There are still so many ways to be involved— It takes an entire village to bring the land of Oz to life!

BECOME A SPONSOR
We are also actively looking for community sponsors and local businesses to help fund this magical production! Sponsoring a BCT show is a fantastic way to support local the arts while getting great visibility for your business. Please reach out to us directly or contact Debbie at the number above to learn more about our sponsorship tiers!

Congratulations to this powerhouse cast! We cannot wait for you all to see the magic they create! ✨

- Bring the community together while drawing in patrons eager to dine local and make a whole night of it!
