THIS IS IT!: The Adventure Continues

No, I’m not talking about the Michael Jackson movie.  I am simply saying that today is the day that I (among the others in the Applied Improv class) have a legitimate excuse for dressing up in Halloween costumes.  Tonight is the night that six of us are dressing up as the major characters from the Wizard of Oz, including Elphaba (the Wicked Witch of the West), Dorothy, Toto, Tinman, the Cowardly Lion, and Scarecrow.  I sit here in the main lounge of Bergen, and at the moment Elphaba is being created while the soundtrack of Wicked plays in the background.  Soon (as in after supper), it will be Tinman’s turn, as he is the last one to be immaculately transformed.  Can’t wait because....*music plays* We’re off to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz!
