WEYBURN - After weeks of rehearsals, the junior high music-drama students at St. Michael School are ready to perform “The Magic Land of Oz”, a new musical version of the Wizard of Oz story.
The musical will be performed twice this week, on Dec. 11, and on Friday, Dec. 13, at 7 p.m. in the school gym.
Tickets are $10 each at the door, and any funds raised will go towards the costs of buying the scripts and making the sets for the play.
The musical has a large cast, headed by Katelynn as Dorothy, Tim as the Wizard of Oz, Jaydyn as Scarecrow, Clare as Tinman, Hently as the Cowardly Lion, and Lyndsay as Toto.
Samantha is Glinda the good witch, and Helen Mary is the Wicked Witch of the West, with several students as the munchkins, citizens of Oz, and the flying monkeys, among other characters.
The musical is directed by Melissa Renz, Megan Woodard and Jenna Wenet.
