The Yellow Brick Road leads to the Winner Community Playhouse this weekend for the 2016 All School Play as the WHS Drama Department presents an adaptation of The Wizard of Oz. The play will run three evenings, Thursday-Saturday April 7, 8 & 9.  Doors will open each night at 7:30 p.m. and the curtain rises at 8 p.m. Admission to the play will be $5 for adults and $3 for students. Reservations are not necessary, but tickets for each night can be reserved by calling the high school at 842-8125 between 8 AM and 4 PM.

This is the largest play cast in several years for an all school play and the talents of many kids will be on the stage and behind the scenes.  The cast includes Winner High School students Molly Connot, Kenzie Irick, John Kludt, Matthew Hartley, Sydnie Peters, Molly Sperlich, Hayley Halverson, Duncan English, Grant Winter, Jacob Woods, Brielle Bachmann, Nick Blare, Mason Schuyler, Ty Bolton, Isaac Naasz, Hunter Shopene, Luke Engel, Jonas Brill, Emily Moser, Shannon Duffy, Sadie Woods, Gracie Littau, Mary Calhoon, Liz Jankauskas, Katy Lantz, Alex Meiners, Jace Voegeli, Bethany Cable, Andrew Taylor, Angel Shaw, Taylor Headrick, Arista Kaiser and Shelby Scott.
Rona Klein is the stage manager with Shea Connot, Elijah Blare, Trey Welch, Tyson Westendorf and Kayleb Brozik as stagehands.
Sid Durrin and Lauren Norrid are in charge of the lights and sound.  Calah Covey will be helping with makeup.
The play is directed by Kara Connot and Kelly Assman, Dan Patmore is the technical director, and Ruth Novotny is the artistic director.

Just like the popular screen version, there are some intense scenes, but this should be a wonderful family night of entertainment.  Following the performances, the cast will be on stage to meet and greet those in attendance. There will be ample time each night and we encourage kids who would like to get pictures taken with cast members to take advantage of this opportunity.
