Cast and crew of 100 Mile Performing Arts Society’s, The Wizard of Oz, have to be proud of themselves for a job well done. The community theatre company put on eight performances of the much-loved fantasy classic between Feb. 28 and March 9 at Martin Exeter Hall. The first week saw a few empty seats in the audience, but the second and final week was completely sold out, notes
producer Jan Richmond. “People were clambering for tickets at the end and we could have done another two or three shows.” This was the first time in the director’s chair for Oz director Nicole Weir, and Richmond has nothing but praise for her and the entire company. “She did an amazing job. Congratulations to everybody. There wasn’t one place that everybody didn’t give 110 per cent.” Actors embraced their characters whole-
heartedly, leaving one to almost feel they were watching the original 1939 Metro-GoldwynMayer Oz film. There were just enough personal twists placed throughout to keep it slightly original and humourous. The show got better and better with each performance and ended with a standing ovation on closing night. Richmond says she is overwhelmed with the community’s support. “I’d like to thank the people of 100 Mile House and area for sup-
porting us. We have an unbelievable community. “I also have to thank every family member of the cast and crew for supporting them for the hours they were away from home. It’s a huge commitment.”
