The Journey to Oz thus Far

At the risk of over-working the obvious cliches, we are indeed ‘off to see the Wizard’. The Yellow Brick Road is long and has many twists and turns. I almost shudder when I think of the Wicked Witch of the West’s sinister pronouncement, ‘You call that long – why you’ve only just begun!’

Although it sometimes feels that way, I do know we are making excellent progress towards making this production something truly special. Rehearsals began on Monday the 3^rd of September with the seven principal cast members. For a first rehearsal, the performances were nothing short of astounding. None of us could restrain our laughter at Darragh’s portrayal of the Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr would be flattered). 

Our ‘Star Search for Toto’ campaign is also making dogged progress. We have four canine candidates, but are open to more entries. Please contact the school if you have any talented Terrier thespians.

The production side of things is also hotting up. We are ensuring that the level of professionalism will rival any West End or Broadway show. We’re using professional special effects like digital green-screen technology, and a whole host of other surprises.

If you are a member of the cast, don’t forget to go to the Rehearsal Schedule link to see when you’re needed. We look forward to seeing you then.

This blog will be updated weekly, along with the Cast Corner and sometime the Rehearsal Schedule, so check this site often. There's no place like the homepage.
