APRIL/MAY 2013
I took a few moments two weeks before theshow to sit down with “The Wizard of Oz” direc-tor, Don Rusaw, to get a little background aboutthe show. A native of New York state, Don firstcame to RLT in the summer of 1973 when hedid the program for the RLT production of “TheHobbit” at the old Maple Street location. In thefall of 1974 he wascast in his first lead-ing role at RLT asPaul in “A Shot inthe Dark” the firsttime RLT did thatshow. The firstshow he directed atRLT was “Arsenicand Old Lace” in1975. Overall, hehas directed 35plays, musicals,and follies, 29 ofthem being at RLTincluding 18 musi-cals and one JuniorService League Fol-lies held at theDeSoto. I asked Don whatkinds of problemshe had with thisproduction. Most ofyou know that origi-nally RLT had se-lected Rodgers’ andHammerstein’s “Cinderella” to be done in thisslot, but the rights were pulled by R & H Theat-ricals because a production of that scriptopened on Broadway this spring (for the firsttime!--three productions have been on televi-sion, but this is the first time it has appeared onBroadway.) So the Board had to change theplan for the season and for this director, andassigned “The Wizard of Oz” to him instead.Then the Board had to change the originaldates of the show to two weeks sooner due toschool schedules and the dates of the CRCTtests. So Don began to face this challenge withtwo strikes against him already! But, he has
risen to the challenge and now his third chal-lenge, but not a strike, is the sheer number ofhis cast - 71! Problems are magnified whenyou have more people involved, such as actorsmissing rehearsals due to conflicts, the weatheror illness, and then having to catch them up. Inaddition, one of the original leads had to be re-
placed because she got anew job out of town andcould no longer partici-pate in the show, buteven this obstacle hasbeen overcome, and Donsays his greatest joy hasbeen working with thiswonderful, cooperativecast, and especially hisfirst-time-but-outstanding,highly organized produc-er, Allison Cox Dolbeer. Also assisting Don inthis production is the mu-sical director and conduc-tor, returning to RLT onceagain, Bill King. Bill wasthe musical director andconductor the last timeRLT did this show - in1993. Usual Musical Di-rector and ConductorJames Willis is taking abit of a break from hisduties, but is still going tobe playing keyboards in
the pit for the show, and is doing some musicalrehearsals, along with regular rehearsal pianistDonna Hester. Alisha Abrams is the choreogra-pher, and Don is especially excited about in-cluding the original dance number, “TheJitterbug,” which was filmed but cut from theoriginal movie (to make the entire movie short-er, only 1 hour and 40 minutes long.) He is alsoexcited to see some of the special effects re-quired by the script that he and the cast andcrew have come up with, such as the melting ofthe Wicked Witch of the West and the appear-ance of Aunt Em in the witch’s crystal ball.

And as always my tour of “Beyond the RLT” would not becomplete without a shout out to two of our favorite out of statevenues. The first is the Greenville Little Theatre, and although wespent a night in that beautiful city this month, unfortunately therewas not any theatre onstage anywhere in town! (But we did see aglorious production of “Oliver!” in Virginia Beach the next day!)The final show of the GLT season is a comedy set in 1970 called“Elvis Has Left the Building,” which is about Col. Tom Parker’ssearch for the King for a very important concert. This show willrun April 5th-20th (seems like I’ve heard these dates beforesomewhere! :)) Their annual summer musical this year will beIrving Berlin’s best, “Annie Get Your Gun,” which will openMemorial Day weekend.

Which brings us to the exciting news at our favorite weekendgetaway, the Cumberland County Playhouse in Crossville, TN, amere 3 ½ hours away.

So that’s a little taste of what lies beyond Emerald City, Kansasand RLT! Thanks for supporting live theatre at RLT, and Beyond!

You’ll have to come see the show tobe amazed by how these work!
As usual, many family groups are participating at RLT, one of thestrengths of our community theatre. Obviously, many parents get in-volved when so many children are cast, and these parents have been ablessing not only transporting their actors to rehearsal, but also workingbackstage and even coming up with props! Three of the leads, the Lion,the Tin Man and the Scarecrow, also have children in the production, and there isanother mother-daughter pair. There are at least two sets of sisters. And onefamily has three generations in the cast! Don is also looking forward to the four sold-out school shows, which will beshortened only by a narration of the first scenes but will still include Dorothy’siconic song, “Over the Rainbow.” And he wanted to remind the audiences that notonly have the dates been changed, but so have the regular RLT performancesdue to opening on Easter weekend: there will be a matinee and an evening per-formance on Saturday, March 30th and no Sunday matinee on Easter Sunday,March 31st. The regular Friday and Saturday evening and Sunday matinee per-formances will be held the second weekend, April 5th-7th. I asked Don what he thinks the moral of the story is, and what he would like forthe audiences to take away from the viewing of the show. He said he thinks that itis summed up in Dorothy’s last line, “There’s no place like home,” meaning ofcourse that it is important for children to realize that parents are disciplining andteaching their children out of love and not to create conflict or pressure on them.Speaking from experience as someone who has directed this show before (Dar-lington School in 2006), I agree with Don’s assessment of this timeless story giv-ing us life lessons we will never forget. You are sure to say “Ahhh…” after youhave traveled with the RLT company to Don’s interpretation of “…Oz!” «
