Taylorville High School

 NOTES FROM THE DIRECTOR 

 

Welcome to our wonderful Land of Oz!  Like many of you, this story was a beloved one for me as a child although I was dreadfully afraid of the wicked witch!!! I love the messages within this musical; overcoming obstacles on our way to greatness, following our own path in life with a few true friends at our side and realizing that there really is no place like home!


It has been a joy, once again, to work with these talented students!  Including some of our 3rd graders this year has been such a delight.  Their young voices add so much to our munchkinland.  My team of Rani Gosnell, Keith Chase, and Kelsey LeVault have given their heart and soul into this production alongside me.  Tom Pickett, John and Savannah Sorrells, Chris Heinrich have designed sets and incorporated special effects that make our show fabulous.  I thank you all.  As this is my last musical directing here at THS, I want to especially thank my friends and family as well as all of the supportive patrons, parents and alumni that have helped keep this passion alive for me and for our students here at THS throughout the years. “There’s no place like home” echoes among many of these young student actors as the magical theater stage is where they feel a belonging and a home.


Peace, Love and Music
Kathy Fergin
