Follow the Yellow Brick Road: Sparta High School Presents 'The Wizard of Oz'
By Julia Miller
This upcoming weekend, the Sparta high school auditorium will be filled with magic and adventure as the students of Sparta high school present 'The Wizard of Oz.'
The Wizard of Oz will run from Friday, March 1 through Sunday, March 3. On Friday and Saturday the play will start at 7pm, while on Sunday it will be at 2pm. There will also be a meet and greet with cast members presented on Sunday from 12-1 pm. Regular tickets will cost $15, tickets for children under 5 will be $7, and tickets for seniors/students will be $10.
The students have been working tirelessly for weeks to prepare for this exciting musical.
Michelle Kujalowicz, the student director and stage manager said: “I feel very confident about the musical in general, I think it’s going to be very fun and interesting with a lot of fun little surprises that are waiting.”
Megan Armstrong, playing Dorothy, said, “I think it’s a really great cast, and everybody is very supportive and encouraging. It’s going to be a really great show with a lot of magic and a lot of excitement.”
This year also marks the 85th anniversary of the original Wizard of Oz. Kujalowicz said this anniversary makes performing the play “even more special.”
Sparta High School previously presented The Wizard of Oz in 2009. Angela Deluccia, the director of this year's Wizard of Oz, also worked on the previous Wizard of Oz 15 years ago. Assistant director and choreographer Mrs. Lucas was also in the previous Wizard of Oz play, and her helping to direct this new play helps make this extra exceptional.
The cast and crew look forward to sharing their production with the community. Tickets can be purchased online.
