This afternoon we attended the matinee performance of "The Wizard Of Oz" at the Mechanicsburg High School theater. Wow, theater performances in high schools have really improved or else this high school has an outstanding theater department. This theater has an orchestra pit in front of the stage but they also had a sturdy walkway around the orchestra pit for extra effect. Grand girl #2 went dressed as Dorothy and brought along a stuffed dog to stand in for Toto. The play had an actual dog on stage today. This was a very placid dog. When the Wizard of Oz was speaking they had what appeared to be XL Roman candles standing beside his image. They used strobe lights during the Wicked Witch scenes. Throughout the entire performance I never noticed a flat note nor a misstep. The kids did an incredible job.
