Tonight Hadleigh tried out for the Columbian Theatre's production of The Wizard of Oz. She really wanted to try out to be Dorothy but knew she was too small. She was content with trying for a munchkin part. Decked out in her Dorothy dress, Hadleigh was 'on' and did FANTASTIC! She was casted, on the spot, to be one of the very important Lullabye League munchkins. We are all so excited for her! Even more exciting is that The Columbian Theatre is the only theatre that features some of the 1939 MGM Munchkin actors in a cameo appearance, on stage, during the munchkin scene. This year Jerry Maren, the munchkin who handed the lollipop to Judy Garland, will be on hand for the first time and Hadleigh will get to be on stage with him (during the weekend of the Oztoberfest only). What a once in a lifetime experience!
