Yesterday was quite the busy day. It began around 9AM as I went to the area chamber of commerce office to sell tickets for FCF’s production of The Wizard of Oz. Quite an experience (fun but at times busy). Answering phones, waiting on the line of theatergoers, marking charts, getting the tickets, running credit cards, […]

What a day! I took two of my nieces to Journey Oz as the cast and crew prepared for what is sure to be a WONDERFUL production next weekend. I once again will be playing reviewer Tuesday night. Today, the cast and crew provided an on and back stage experience tailored to the entire family.
Since my leg still will not allow me to audition for a full-length show, I had to settle for assisting the audition process for FCF’s production of one of my all-time favorites, The Wizard of Oz. Although it was fun hanging out, signing the auditioners in, I really REALLY wanted to be one of those

Tonight was my introduction into a new theatre board. I think this organization will be a fun, challenging, and ultimately rewarding crowd to be a part of. Hopefully, the passion I have for the dramatic arts will be beneficial. This summer, the group will be presenting the beloved, immortal classic The Wizard of Oz. I
Over 7o years and still as beautiful as ever. I may have seen Wicked on Easter Sunday. I may have enjoyed it… even appreciated it but there is not even a remote chance that I will ever LOVE it as much as the original 1939 masterpiece The (Wonderful) Wizard of Oz. I remember watching it

Well, ok, so last Sunday wasn’t really my stage debut; I acted in about 4 stage plays when I was a kid, and three quarters of those roles were in The Wizard of Oz 🙂 But somewhere along the line, I developed a severe stage fright, and I haven’t come close to the front of

Talk me out of it!” This is my favorite line from one of the most classic movies of all time. If there is one person within posting range who has never seen the 1939 version of The Wizard of Oz, I would seriously have a hard time believing it. The scene involves Scarecrow and Tin
