Wizard of Oz with a "3R Twist" ~ Photos By Hanna Alldrin
Murphys, CA.....A few months ago, two fourth graders from Michelson Elementary expressed an interest in putting together an original rendition of the Wizard of Oz but with a "3R twist."

to write, hold audition and rehearsals and then perform their play for the school. According to Morgan, "It was a lot of work but it was a lot of fun and I'm really glad that we did it." Nine -year-old Morgan Hull said that she enjoyed facing the challenges of directing and writing the play. The twenty cast members practiced after school and painted many original backdrops for the performance.
Yesterday was the first performance of the play, which was done in the Michelson Gym in front of students, parents and school staff. Morgan entered her play into a contest with the B Street Fantasy Theatre Company to share her ideas and creativity with the "3R's"
"Morgan did a really good job, I'm amazed she wrote the whole play and directed it in such little time," shared ten-year-old Raychel Nash who played Dorothy in the performance. The twenty cast members included: Raychel Nash, Claire Gorman, Olivia Monroy, Natalie Huddy, Grace Lilly, Michael Arce, Michael Charbaneau, David Carter, Daniel Ernst, Elena Smith, Zane Krpan, Wyatt Lawson, Brennan Thompson, Madison Dunn, Savannah Luis, Bailey Van Zant, and Jada Barnes.
