Wizard of Oz – MetroNorth News – June 4, 2009
No one noticed it happening, but as soon as audience members crossed the threshold at 73rd Avenue Playhouse, they became munchkins in the Land of Oz. So it came as a surprise when Glinda the Good Witch looked at the audience and called them “munchkins” and asked them to accompany Dorothy on her trip to see the Wizard of Oz.
The 73rd Avenue Theatre Company is presenting its first children’s theater production “The Wizard of Oz” until June 28 at the Playhouse, 7287 Lowell Blvd. in Westminster.
“You were trying to trick me! You, especially!” the Witch (played by Maru Garcia) exclaimed when she realizes the magical trees were hiding her prey. The Witch chastised one woman in the audience that kept pointing her in the wrong direction.
The actors were quick on their toes to the different audience reactions – even a toddler that cried throughout most of the show.
“I’m scared of my tail! I’m scared of my shadow …” said Lion (Stephen Mathis) to Dorothy about his cowardice. As the boy, who couldn’t have been older than nine months, started crying, Lion added, “That kid is scared of me, too.”
“Improv is crucial when doing children’s theater,” explained Ellen Farnsworth, who directed the play. “Every show is different and every audience with kids in it is different.”
“There is a huge need in Westminster for an artistic venue and I think it’s a great opportunity to interact with the multicultural population,” said Garcia, an Aurora resident who originally hails from Mexico City, Mexico. “Our goal is to produce quality shows with a low budget that are appealing to different groups of audiences.
