FRCS Wizard of Oz Scene and Cast List

What????? What is this?

OK, in the continuous effort to communicate who does what when, it's standard to create a complete scene list. So at this link:

FRCS Wizard of Oz Scene List

you will find a 3 page Adobe Acrobat document (from now on referred to as a PDF) that has all of this information. So to explain further, on page 3 you will see a list of the 27 (27 scenes!) in the play. Each one is number with it's act and then scene number. So for instance, when the scarecrow sings "If I only had a Brain", that's Act 1 Scene 9, or scene 1.9.

So far so good?

Now on the first two pages of the scene list document is a matrix of every character and every scene and a little check mark next to the character if they are in the scene. So again, Scene 1.9 will include Dorothy, Scarecrow, Toto, the Yellow Brick Road and the Crows. So if you or your student is one of these characters and we are rehearsing that scene, it would be nice to see them at the rehearsal!

So how do you know what scene is being rehearsed on a particular day?

Great question.....thanks for asking. There will be a number of ways to find this out. On the Wizard of Oz calendar (there's a link to it at the top of this web page), we will be listing the scenes that we are planning to work on, hopefully in enough advance notice for you to plan your days. We will also be listing the next weeks rehearsals right here on this page (in fact, that over-achieving Mrs. Sutherland has already done that!). This will also appear in the Falcon Flyer and lastly, like everything written here, it will be posted on the Fine Arts bulletin board in the High School.

Whew....trying to over-communicate is tough business!
