Elise McFarlane
as Aunt Em/Glinda
Elise McFarlane (Aunt Em/Glinda) is humbled & thrilled to join this wonderful cast as we journey down the yellow brick road. A graduate of UW Madison in Theatre and Dramatic Arts, Elise has always enjoyed storytelling through performance and being able to do so with SPCT again feels like coming home (there’s no place like it). Her previous roles include Maria in The Sound of Music (2002) and Mother Abbess in The Sound of Music (2023), Widow Corney in Oliver (2003), Tzeitel in Fiddler on the Roof (2003) and Mrs. Brill in Mary Poppins (2019). Her favorite role however, is as wife to her wonderful husband Jason and mother to their three beautiful daughters, Abigail, Anna, and Jessica. She wants to give a big thank you to everyone involved in this production on and off stage, what a blessing it is to story tell with you all! Galatians 6:9

Analiese Eicher
as Miss Almira Gulch/Wicked Witch Of The West
Analiese is sinisterly delighted to be bringing the iconic Wicked Witch of the West to life in this production. This is Analiese’s first show with Sun Prairie Civic Theater and first time on stage in a scripted production in 20 years. Some previous (and very old) credits include Pippin (Fastrada), Cinderella (Stepsister Portia), Dido & Aenas (Second Witch). Analiese’s first ever time on stage was as a Munchkin in Wizard of Oz 30 years ago and she is excited to be back in the land Oz. Thank you to her community, and her dog, for their support in her return to theater.
