Sixth-grader Kenzie Sigel and eighth-grader Emma Wick shared the role of Dorothy — as well as Toto.

“We had an amazing three shows,” said Sigel, “and I am unbelievably proud of us as a cast.”

The 34-member cast was also led by eighth-grader Spencer Silverman, who played the Scarecrow, seventh-grader Morgan Myers as the Tin Man and Matt Palik as the Lion. Seventh-grader Amy Newman-Taylor was Glinda, eighth-grader Kylee Traynor was the Wicked Witch and Cameron Boher was the Wizard.
