Director's Notes:
Northern Lehigh felt a need to join the country in paying tribute to the 50 year classic, "The Wizard of Oz." The 100 plus cast members led by Jennifer Andreas, John Mankos, A.J. Schaeffer, and Chris Mack, took us down the yellow brick road for a first-time, five performance Northern Lehigh Musical. Directed by Larry Williams, choreographed by Kim Harding and Kathy Andrulevich, set design by Susan Trainer, and costumes by Violet Jones and Doneta Merkle, this kids show turned into a successful community show. Memories such as Elementary Munchkins, a flying Good Witch complete with safety harness, trees, a wicked green Witch, the magic mirror, trees, Jitterbugs, trees, thousands of ghosts, trees, stuffing John, welding A.J., choreographing Chris' tail, and oh, more trees, will never be forgotten.
