Kids @ Citz in starring roles

They have exceedingly stiff competition, but my favourite costumes from The Wizard of Oz - the Citizens Theatre Christmas Show - this year, are definitely the Munchkins.

You may not know this, but the 3 teams of Munchkins were cast largely (although not entirely) from TAG's Kids @ Citz drama classes. Clearly the classes have done some good!

Three teams of Munchkins (only one of which is pictured below) are taking to the main stage at the Citizens throughout December and early January for a staggering 59 performances.


L-R: Rosie, Fraser, Julie, Charlotte, Lauren and Rosemary


The Munchkins with Glinda the Good Witch played by Pauline Knowles.

Wizard of Oz workshop

In preparation for the Citizens Christmas Show 2008, the TAG team are going out into Glasgow schools to deliver a fun Wizard of Oz workshop. I got to go to St Francis Primary School in the Gorbals and take some snaps. I had such a great morning.

I know it's still November but it totally put me in the mood for Christmas. It was one of those mornings that just makes you smile. If only every day could include a Wizard of Oz workshop!
