OK, now keep your hand up if you can re-imagine the Wizard of Oz in such a way that it still kinda looks like the old 1939 Judy Garland show, but with some new & fresh twists...and so you could perform it on stage and under a limited budget.
This was the challenge that was tossed out to a group of FRCS students (coincidentally all girls, but there were young men who were invited, but declined). Back in December this challenge was tossed out to them: design the FRCS version of the Wizard of Oz. This lovely group of girls: Kyla Hollis, Kelly Shaffer, Sarah Herb, Jenny DeWitt, Bekah Bill and Shelby Boyd has been busy doodling, scribbling and flat out creating some of the most amazing art work the world has ever known! OK, a slight exaggeration, but seriously, take a look at the pictures in 
this post, and judge for yourself. These amazing young ladies are still cranking out the Oz art, and are taking some of the doodles and turning them into designs for the mere mortals to create costumes, sets and scenery.... Kyla Hollis, a tremendously talented Senior who will be gracing the stage as the TinMan (or maybe TinPerson, who knows...) has desires to move on to great things as a costume designer. So not only will she be designing the TinMan costume, but she'll be creating it, and then wearing it!It's truly awesome to see the talents that God has blessed these girls with and we're all going to be richer through the experience!
