Off To See The Wizard?

All three of us - Sharon, Randy, and Wendy - auditioned for parts in Playhouse In The Park's upcoming production of The Wizard of Oz on this icy cold night. Sharon sang "You're Just In Love" from "Call Me Madam", Randy sang "If I Only Had A Brain" from "Oz", and Wendy sang "The Wind Began To Switch", also from "Oz". I fondly remember Wendy's very first audition, as a 3-year-old for "The King And I", in Flagstaff.

Speaking of Flagstaff, at the audition we met another couple who had brought their children to audition, and who said that they had just moved to Murray from Flagstaff! Turns out he's the new offensive coordinator for the Murray State football team....who was filling a position opened when the father of one of Wendy's good friends was released as offensive coordinator last winter. They have since moved to Pennsylvania.

Wendy would like to be on the Munchkin Committee (someone who says or sings a line), Sharon would like to be the Witch, or Glinda, or Auntie Em, and Randy's top choices are the Scarecrow, the Tinman, or the Emerald City Guard. But we'll wait and see what happens....ah, the delicious uncertainty of theater!
