Forest Lake invites you to
Oz SUBMITTED
BY KELLY PLUMMER CONTRIBUTING WRITER
FOREST LAKE — There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home. It’s easy to miss home when you’ve dodged flying monkeys, a very green and nasty witch and the possibility of a lifetime in a land ruled by a great and powerful wizard who is nothing but a short man hiding behind bells and whistles.

“The Wizard of Oz” is perhaps one of the most beloved movies of all time. How many of us remember where we were the fi rst time we saw Judy Garland and her gleaming ruby red slippers? Most of us have a memory and even an emotional attachment to the movie. That’s the predicament facing Tim Newcomb, director of the Forest Lake High School musical production of “The Wizard of Oz” debuting Oct. 30. It’s a (yellow brick) road Newcomb has been
down before, as this is his second time directing the musical at the high school. His first go-around? Fourteen years ago. He realizes this isn’t a time to reinvent the wheel. “It is challenging because you want to go into a production trying new ideas. But with this one, you don’t want to mess with it too much. You would really have to defy expectations in such a way that it’s better than the original. And I mean, how do you beat Judy Garland?”

He said the high school cast and crew are working on creative lighting as well as unexpected set and costume ideas to win over local audiences. “What we try to do is realize it’s not a movie. We can’t do it exactly like the movie.” Costuming is one area where the Rangers' musical will differ from the classic “Wizard of Oz” and offer audiences a fresh aesthetic. SEE WIZARD OF OZ, PAGE 10
