We all know the classic tale of Oz - Dorothy, the Wizard, and the Wicked Witch. But in Wicked, the familiar story is seen through a different lens, delving deeper into the characters' lives we thought we knew.

I had the opportunity to attend a performance of FLOT’s unique adaptation of The Pirates of Penzance. This fun spin on a classic operetta was directed by Tekla Butcher-Monson, with musical direction by Phil Heilbron. The show ran two weekends at the UAF Salisbury Theatre from October 4th to October 13th, 2024.
