Entertainment : VSHS Drama Dept. to perform \'Wizard of Oz\' this weekend

Dorothy (Lily Horst), Scarecrow (Caleb Kruckenberg) and Tin Man (Daniel Janssen) seek the Wizard.

The Lion, Tin Man, Scarecrow and Dorothy are 'off to see the Wizard' in the VSHS fall musical.

'Most Sincerely Dead:' The pit band and Munchkins practice the song about a Wicked Witch.

Logan Murray is the Lion, seeking courage from the Wizard.

Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tinman, Lion, the Munchkins, and Glinda, as well as the Great and Powerful OZ and his gloriously green Ozian subjects, are anxiously awaiting opening night at the Vinton-Shellsburg High School Auditorium. And yes, Toto, too!

We hope you’ll join us Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, November 7, 8, 9, at 7 pm, 7pm, and 2 pm respectively. Tickets are $5 for all and available at the door.

The Mayor of Munchkin City is pleased to welcome you most regally. You need not fear the Wicked Witch of the East, the Barrister verified it legally, and the Coroner has thoroughly examined her. She’s not only really dead, she’s really most sincerely dead!

Of course, there is her sister to contend with, the Wicked Witch of the West, who identified the deceased. (Who else would wear ruby slippers with those socks?) And four fearsome Flying Monkeys.

You may be sure that Auntie Em and Uncle Henry will keep you safe and well-loved throughout the show. We hope you’ll make plans to attend one (or more!) of our performances. You just have to think the thought, feel it in your heart, and have the courage of your convictions! There really is no place like home. But don’t take our word for it, come see it for yourself!
