This Is how the trip began for Dorothy: carried off In some
windy music and lights by a tornado, personailzed in a con-

trolled frenzy by dancer Frances Brodie.

subtlety and a continual stream

The direction by Merry Hall-
sor and Sharon Lynch featured
one interesting device after an-
other, including an anthropo-
morphized yellow brick road of
young dancers decked out in
brick-scored tunics that led the
four companions to the Emerald
City, and a group of sensuous
poppies dancing through a cloud
of opiate vapor that nearly way-
laid the heroes on their way.

Acting and singing by limber
Scarecrow Alan Weston, stilted
and stiff Tin Man Todd Bellamy
and Cowardly Lion Alexis

Maikapar was lively, ac- —

complished, and energetic, but
Pam Kerr’s reading of Dorothy,
close to the original in innocent
and virtuous courage, provided
the axis around which the other
characters were able to revolve

in all their off-the-wall ©

uniqueness.
Norah Ferguson deserves
Stage Exit of the Year award for
her rather abrupt meltdown af-
ter being doused with water by
the heroine, and Doug Rosz-

mann goes into the record books
for Jive in his portrayal of The
Wiz.

The casting department is to
be complimented on the selec-
tion. of contrasting witches,

-spaced-out Addaperle played by

Tania MacKenzie and Lynn
Leydier-Frolick’s squeaky-clean
Glinda. The remainder of the
supporting players were enthusi-
astic to the last Munchkin and
appeared to know exactly what
they were doing on the stage, a
triumph of directing and con-
centrated rehearsal.

Pervading the entire produc-
tion was the Terrace Communi-
ty Band, and they’ve never
sounded better. The ensemble
ran a gamut of styles going from

~ music hall boilerplate to torch

and blues. The variety in this
play was daunting, and those of
us who weren’t able to be in
Calgary earlier this year now
understand why they came away
with first prize.

‘Both evening performances
sold out, and the Saturday
matinee left only 20 unoccupied
seats. It’s a record for the
R.E.M. Lee.

The arts community in this
city is starting to: look very up-
town, and the Terrace Little
Theatre, Theatre Alive and the

community band all deserve our

thanks for some e top-of-the-line
entertainment.

was a remote possibility due to the rarity of qualified

many years, and it was obvious that they consider him a

sincere and honorable man, but when the polls from

native communities came in the support was overwhelm-
