The production was joyful, colourful and fun to watch and be part of. Our Munchkins, Jitterbugs, Ozians, Winkies, Monkeys and principal dancers brought much conviction and energy to their roles.

Our cast was led by our lead cast which included Grace Q as Dorothy, Cody D as Scarecrow, Ebony P as TinGirl, Angus L as Lion, Monique R as The Wicked Witch, Alana G as Glinda, Joe L as Oz and Jordanna N as the Oz Guard. Congratulations to these students for taking on such big and impactful roles.

All students in the cast displayed leadership and perfected their roles through their many hours of rehearsal and preparation. 

We thank our core staff production team from St Patrick’s including Emma Randell, Catherine McLaren, Elizabeth Samyia, Vanessa Singles, Claire McGillicuddy, Tarna Tannous, Ellen Davis and Jacqueline Flint who began this process in February with students and worked tirelessly to create an incredible show that we could all be proud of. Many staff and students jumped on board Team Oz throughout the process to assist with tech, construction, lighting and behind the scenes work which we are incredibly thankful for. A special thanks goes to our property and IT staff, Susan Sciffer and Julian Nash who took on crucial roles in set preparation, administration and tech. 

We couldn’t have got all the way to Oz without the incredible support of the St Gregory’s staff who gifted their time with supervision, rehearsal assistance and production week support. Many thanks to Natasha Patao, Kristy Falas, Joshua Redmayne, Adrienne Phillips, Lauren Ambruster and Tammy Dooner for giving up their time and helping our students shine. 

We thank everyone who joined us at any of our three performances. We appreciate your support and hope you enjoyed the show! Now that we’ve been to Oz, we can’t wait to discover where we may head next year!
