SALISBURY — The Salisbury Central School (SCS) production of “The Wizard of Oz” played to large crowds over the weekend.
That it played at all was the result of student initiative.
SCS students asked Principal Lisa Carter if the school would sponsor a dramatic event, and Carter agreed.
Plays and similar activities have come under the auspices of SOAR, the after-school enrichment program, in recent years.
At the final show, on Sunday afternoon, May 21, Ayla Hill as Dorothy escaped from Miss Gulch, only to encounter the Wicked Witch of the West (both roles played by Catherine Bushey, with a very convincing witch cackle).
There were Munchkins and ruby slippers, scarecrows and wizards, and strong singing and dancing from the entire cast.
Cella’s paintings are tucked in almost every available space thoughout Little Store Antiques. L. Tomaino
