‘Wizard of Oz’ saves Sagebrush

EVANSTON — Sagebrush Theatre’s production of “Wizard of Oz” was a huge success and saved the theater company from closure, according to officials. Due to the large number of theater supporters attending each of the five performances, Sagebrush Theatre’s board of directors can sigh with relief and give a heartfelt thank you to the community for their support.

Director of the performance Chrystal Dunn said, “I have been an actor in Sagebrush productions for over two years and on the board for a little over a year. I was actually just kidding when I said I would direct ‘Wizard of Oz,’ but then everyone ran with it so I decided, what the heck, let’s see what I can do. I was really happy with the outcome of the show. I had a great cast, a script I could play with and I’m naturally bossy, so I felt like that combination was pretty successful.”
