Now that she's tackled the Yellow Brick Road in Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre's production of The Wizard of Oz, Lisa Bark is ready to take on another challenging journey. And after facing a major setback last year, crossing the starting line will mean almost as much as making it to the finish line.

Two performers step into the Gotta Go Spotlight by standing out with the energy and enthusiasm brought to their roles. Curry, whose version of Professor Marvel was a little quiet and sedate, delighted the audience with his animated style as the Wizard. Portraying the phony wizard with just the right amount of vulnerability and sweetness, Curry creates a very likable character.

It's the tale that taught us "there's no place like home!" Join Dorothy, Toto and their friends as they follow the Yellow Brick Road to see The Wizard of Oz at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre, now through July 15. See photos from the production below!
