Who's Who

Kayla-Alexis Manning

as Dorothy Gale

Hello! Lovely meeting you here. This is my first lead role so it’s an exciting moment for me. Previously I’ve been in The Little Mermaid (Mersister/Ensemble) and Big Fish (Ensemble). I go to school for Film Studies and Creative Writing at Western University. In my free time, I love sewing, baking and cosplaying. Fun Fact: I made the dress I wear in this show! I hope you love the show as much as I do!
Cheryl Hue

as Aunt Em / Tree

After spending her childhood on stage, Cheryl is excited to be back, and performing with Playful Fox. She is a classically-trained vocalist, having performed in Musicals and with Symphonies globally. She now finds fulfillment directing children on stage. "Working with the cast and crew of 'Oz' has been a delight! I am grateful to be involved in such an iconic production."
Scott Murfin

as Uncle Henry / Winkie General / Jitterbug

When he is not in the theatre, Scott is a high performance driving coach and racing school instructor, who has raced on numerous circuits across North America. He is also a race car mechanic and millwright, and loves the challenge of building and fixing just about anything. Scott recently performed in PFP's tour of 'Murder on the Orient Express'. Karyn Monk has been the inspiration for me to be here. I cannot put into words how wonderful it is sharing my life with her on and off stage.
Karyn Monk

as Glinda, The Good Witch of the North

Karyn is a two-time ACT-CO Award nominee who recently appeared as Mrs. Lovett in Playful Fox Productions' Sweeney Todd. Other favourite roles include: the Witch in 'Into The Woods', Ursula in 'The Little Mermaid', Velma in 'Hairspray', Mrs. Potts in 'Beauty and The Beast' and Fraulein Schneider in 'Cabaret'. A graduate of the University of Toronto, Karyn is also an award-winning published historical romance author, whose books can be found on Amazon. Huge love to Scott (our Uncle Henry) and their kids, who make everything magical.
