.Kristal Norris
There’s no place like home”. Classic words from a classic tale. This is one of the first “big kid books” I remember reading. Dorothy meets incredible friends; finds her own strengths; learns of new cultures; and still retains her ties to home. Putting these things on stage with an incredible set, a large cast, talented people all around has been as magical as the book forest was when I was 7. Tons of work, sacrifice, time, and resources have been into this show. My hope is that cast, crew, and audience alike enjoy the magic of this show. I have had a blast. Thank you to my wonderful gigantic cast for allowing me to create the magic of the show with you and playing with you at rehearsals. My techies, no show is possible without your Herculean efforts and you deserve all the applause. And the biggest Thank You and all my love to my family, especially NanDee and Joe, for all your sacrifices and love to help me make this a reality.
