Our Production As arguably the first benchmark fantasy movie, “The Wizard of Oz” stirs the imagination as it transports us to a color-filled world of exotic places and memorable characters. It sports the venerable struggle of good ver- sus evil using the thematic thread of the triumph of the small and weak over the cruel and powerful. Pick any story in fantasy or science fiction and you are bound to find the seeds of “The Wizard of Oz” scattered on its pages. In our story, a Kansas farm girl living during the Great Depression search- es for a place where there is no trouble because life seems filled with problems. In her dream, Dorothy finds a place over the rainbow, but sur- prisingly trouble continues to dog her steps. Dorothy learns on her in- credible journey that family and friends bring the hope and love needed to overcome difficulty. Ironically, it is not the defeat of the Wicked Witch that is the ultimate triumph of “The Wizard of Oz,” rather it is the discov- ery that contentment and love rest in the statement -- “There is no place like home.” I wish to thank those who have invested many days and nights in our journey to bring this musical to the stage: Doug Johnson, Jayce Everling, Jen Billmeier, and Hannah Williams. Thank you Dr. Julie and KCS staff for all your support. For those many friends who joined us along the way and applied their talents of singing, dancing, acting, sewing, artistry, con- struction, promotion, technology, hair and make-up, planning and hospi- tality, I say, “Every good gift comes from God.” You are “gifts” who formed the hardworking team to shape this musical. Kids and parents, you have been a blessing! Thank you especially to my wife Becky who traveled with me on this amazing journey to Oz. To God be the glory, Craig Tenaglia Director of “The Wizard of Oz, Young Performers’ Edition”
