Anna has been a busy girl the past few months. She's been working with the McLaughlin Theatre Company on their production of "Oz, The Musical". She has three roles she plays between the two casts. Her main role is as "Boq", the munchkin mayor.
When she's not playing Boq, she is a member of the "Lollipop Guild".
In both casts, she is a "Citizen of Oz".
As Boq, she has a dancing and singing solo in the song "Ease on Down the Road" and she also has five main lines in the play:

As Boq, she has a dancing and singing solo in the song "Ease on Down the Road" and she also has five main lines in the play:
1. Welcome most noble witch to the country of the Munchkins.
2. ....the wicked witch of the west.
3. Tell us noble Dorothy, how did you come to this place?
4. Perhaps Oz will help her.
5. The road to the Emerald City is paved with bricks.
The whole play is so cute and the director has just done a fantastic job with the kids. I think the costumes are outstanding. They started with a $100 budget and had to ask for a small increase. The mom that put it all together has a costume design background and is so amazingly creative and talented. Wow!
There's the lullaby league.

We've been listening to the CD of cast music for months now...endlessly...over and over and over. It cracks me up that Jake even knows the words now. He rides along in his car seat, nodding his head and kicking his legs in time to the music, singing:
Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead.
Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed.
Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. She's gone where the goblins go,
Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out.
Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.
Let them know
The Wicked Witch is dead!
I'm so very, very proud of Anna. She is so charismatic and sings her part with such gusto. She loves it and has been having such a great time.
