Lead Actors

Photographs Vic Kirby

Roxanne Rosenblatt (Dorothy):  Talented writer, actress, make-up artist…

wanting the very best from herself and others; her smile is contagious.

Sharon Morris (Zach/Lion):  “Ain’t it the truth; ain’t it the truth:” 

Super kind, ultra-talented and always thinking of others…

she kept us warm during cold performances with thermoses of hot beverages.

Vic Kirby (Hank/Tin Man):  Brilliant, handsome and witty: he has it all; 

memorized his and everyone else’s lines from the beginning.

Isabel Smyth (Samantha/Scarecrow):  A blond dynamo who made us believe in her dream 

by the force of her vision, determination and drive. Now there is a fabulous stage 

& a wildly successful play…

Donna Schultz (Miss Gulch/Wicked Witch):  Like magic this sparkling spirit walked 

into the audition and took off with our hearts. Great new local talent.  Welcome to Baja!

Anita Harris (Good Witch Glinda):  Type-cast as Glinda for sure:  beautiful, sparkly, 

funny and just a little salty! We and the audience love her.

Peter Jackson (Archibald/Wizard of Oz):  That great booming voice, those sparkling eyes…

he made us believe that if you gave him a beer, he wouldn’t build on the dunes anymore!
