Review: Harvest Rain’s The Wizard of Oz playing at QPAC

February 12, 2012 by Vikram Goyal

 If you have grown up dreaming of skipping down the Yellow Brick Road then HarvestRain’s production of The Wizard of Oz is sure to delight.

The scene is set with Aunt and Uncles farm and literally whirlwinds you into the Land of the Munchins (played by an adorable chorus line of kids). Unfortunately the strobe lighting (meant to simulate the tornado) went on a little longer than my eyes could handle and set off a migraine. I don’t recall seeing a “strobe lighting” warning but maybe there should have been due to people with medical issues.

The Scarecrow (played by Shaun Kohlman) is delightful to watch.

 Dana Musil plays Dorothy and emulates Judy Garland to a tee but unfortunately the stage is stolen by the Love-able Tin mans dance routines (Played by Dan Venz) and the Mighty Lion played by (Matty Johnston).

Matty brings laughter to the crowd with his comical lyrics and scared lion mannerisms that left us with giggles.

This production doesn’t have all the glitz and glam of fancy staging or props but there is no compromise in fantastic singers and overall production. Definetley a must see but I would suggest unless your child is into evil witches and ear piecing cackling screams (Played by Penny Farrow) then enjoy a night out on your own and leave the younger kids at home.

As always the QPAC staff deserve a mention for their wonderful service.

Music & lyrics by Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg.

Etsy Spotlight: 1955 Baby Doll Nightgown & Bloomers Pattern

Vintage is making a serious comeback – and I’m 100% here for it. There’s just something timelessly romantic and effortlessly charming about retro styles, and this 1955 Baby Doll Nightgown & Bloomers PDF Pattern is a dreamy example. With delicate details and a classic silhouette, this three-piece sleepwear set captures the elegance and playfulness of mid-century fashion.

But here’s what makes it even more exciting: imagine sewing this pattern using vintage sheet sets! Not only does it give a sweet, nostalgic vibe (hello, florals and pastel stripes), but it also turns your sewing project into a sustainable, upcycled creation. Repurposing old linens is one of my favorite tricks for reducing waste while still making something utterly beautiful and functional. The soft, worn-in feel of vintage sheets also makes them perfect for loungewear like this.

Whether you’re sewing this for yourself, gifting it to someone special, or even displaying it as part of a vintage-inspired craft fair, this pattern is as versatile as it is adorable.
