Lucknow's HAWK Theatre takes to the stage with 'The Wizard of Oz'
Troy Patterson

HAWK Theatre has
brought together students
from three schools for four
colourful performances of
The Wizard of Oz.
The December Youth Pro-
duction follows the Yellow
Brick Road to the land of Oz
with 27 local actors in this
Young Performers' Edition of
the classic story.
Join Kansas farm girl
Dorothy as she travels
over the rainbow to dis-
cover the magical power
of home.
Shows run Dec. 1-3, 2016
with shows at 7:30 p.m.,
along with a matinee on
Dec. 4 at 2:30 p.m. at the
Lucknow Town Hall Theatre.
With the attractive set
designed by local talent
Ruth Montgomery, the
audience will be trans-
ported to the land of Oz
along with Toto, the Lion,
Scarecrow, Tin Man,
Glinda, the Wicked Witch
of West, the Wizard, plus a
few Munchkins and Flying
Monkeys!
Jaden Symes, 10, of Luc -
know, takes the star role as
Dorothy in her third year on
stage with HAWK Theatre.
Symes said she loves
wearing the dress, the danc-
ing and
"It's really nice that I can
be the lead role this year and
that they change the set
every year," said Symes. "Our
director is really nice and
she's easy to work with."
Director Mackenzie Car-
ruthers said students like
Symes have grown with
HAWK since it was a small
theatre production of about
nine children, to what is now
a fun and challenging
experience for both the cast
and crew of close to 30.
"She was one of the origi-
nal girls and ended up bring-
ing her friends, who brought
there friends and was really
one of the co-founders of
this program," Carruthers
said.
