Director’s Note:

Over seventy years ago, MGM Studios took a popular fairy

tale and created one of the most memorable movie experiences of

all time. Tonight, the legacy of L. Frank Baum’s timeless story is

again retold, this time live on stage. What is it about Dorothy’s

quest for “home” that has enchanted generation after generation to

follow their dreams? In today’s endless pursuit to climb corporate

ladders, possess the newest technology, or desire to achieve

success, many of us have lost the idea of “home.” For some,

“home” is a career or relationship; for others a physical place long

forgotten by years of crowded schedules and missed opportunities.

I asked our cast and crew during the first production

meeting what “winning” would look like for our show (having

been raised in a family of athletes, I know that the sign of a

successful program is a team that wins). Some felt the number of

tickets we sold would demonstrate a “win”, while others felt a

standing ovation at the end. However, at our last rehearsal I asked

the students again what would be the sign that our production was

a successful “win”. This time the answer was much clearer;

“Taking our audience back home” was the overwhelming response.

Tonight’s production is just that, a journey back home.

There are so many people who deserve our thanks, please

see the back of the program for those who have given of their time

and resources so that tonight’s presentation would be possible. For

now, I would like to especially thank you- our faithful audience.

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to be here

with us tonight. Our cast and crew are one of the finest groups of

students I have ever had the privilege of working with and I am so

thankful for the opportunity to have given leadership over this

endeavor. Whether it is a person, place, or fond memory, our hope

tonight is that you will rediscover that no matter where life takes

you, there truly is “no place like home.”

Break a Leg Cast & Crew!
