The Wizard of OZ

The Warren Acting Company just completed it's production of The Wizard of OZ this past weekend.  Walker played the Tin Man and Laine was Toto.  They were in their lead roles on Friday night and Sunday afternoon.  On their "off" nights they were munchkins though Walker was in the "Lollipop Guild" every night.  It was a great show and both kids had outstanding performances.

The role of Toto was Laine's first ever role where she did more than just dance and sing.  She had a lot of directions to follow and was on stage through the whole performance.  Her lines were pretty tough too,  RUFF RUFF!!  Mom and Dad were a bit nervous and tried to coach her a bit.  We suggested she watch Ruger for some tips because every minute she was on stage she had to be "a DOG".  She played the role perfectly.  Her little tongue panted and she scratched her ear so much we thought she had flees.  She had the audience in stitches.  Everyone wanted to take her home.  The second performance she even added a bit of "chasing her tail" and "napping".  It was great.

We were worried a bit about Walker because he got a case a laryngitis on Friday.  He drank lots of tea with honey and made it through Friday night and by Sunday his song was perfect... 
If I only had a heart.
