Thanks for a wonderful Wizard!

Thank you SO MUCH for such a wonderful Wizard of Oz experience!  We almost sold out our last show.  Our performers were fantastic.  It's amazing to me that our young leads (Jenna Armstrong and Alyssa Palazzo) are only 13 and 12 respectively.  We are looking forward to a great future!    Thanks also to all of our volunteers (I think Dave Rutter is hooked:).  As usual we cannot do the shows without your positive support.  We can't wait to plan next year's production.:)
