Here is the cast for the upcoming production of The Wizard of Oz Youth Edition.
While we understand that not everyone received the part they hoped for, we are excited to have you all to be a part of this production. We want you to know that it is okay to be disappointed but we also want to encourage you to take this opportunity to grow and strengthen your craft.
We had a very difficult task of choosing these roles based on the large number of talented kids who auditioned. Our committee chose the performers we felt were best suited for each role. Casting decisions are final and we ask that you do not contact any of the directors with comments or complaints. These are difficult decisions. Casting is a careful and thoughtful process. Our goal is to place a large number of kids into a small number of roles.
Our first rehearsal is Monday June 22 at 10 AM SHARP. Please do not wear any sandals or flip flops to rehearsals. We will rehearse Monday through Friday this week from 10 am until noon. No rehearsal on Friday July 3.
