It's A Wizard's World

For the last month - and don't forget practices before that - Samuel and Kiera have been in "The Wizard of Oz" at the local theatre in the round. They had a fun time, but they both are glad it is over. Samuel was a City Father in Munchkinland and Kiera's main part was that of one of the talking trees.

Her other part was that of a munchkin.  What you ask?  How is that possible?  They needed a few more bodies to fill in space during the Munchkinland scene, so a few other -and taller kids got to play the parts of some munchkins.  They made sure that they were sitting down most of the time and that they kept their distance from Dorothy so that the audience wouldn't notice how tall they are. We lovingly referred to her as a munchkin on steriods.
