The Wizard of Oz

Annual function held at St. Soldier Mohali

St. Soldier Int. Convent School , Mohali organised the Second phase of the Annual Function ‘Vibes 2017’ in the School Auditorium on 25th November. The students of classes lV and V took the audience to the wondrous landscapes of Oz with the stage dramatisation of the children’s treasured Broadway musical, “The Wizard of Oz.” They flawlessly narrated Baum’s vision of the fairyland and showcased the adventurous journey of  Dorothy to Oz with her new friends, the Lion, the Scarecrow and the Tinman. After a tornado sweeps her from her Kansas home she encounters both wickedness and wonder, Wizard and Witch, Munchkins and Monkeys on a quest to find  courage, brains, a heart for her friends and most importantly her own home. The young actors attired in resplendent costumes casted a magical spell on the audience with their captivating performance.The highlight of the play was the pitch perfect choir who with its plaintive melody and lyrics depicted a pre-adolescent girl’s desire to escape from the “hopeless jumble” of this world, from the sadness of raindrops to the bright new world‘over therainbow’.This classic tale of adventure inspired imaginations and reminded us of the power of self-confidence and also encouraged the students to look introspectively as well as beyond themselves, as Dorothy journeys from Kansas to Oz and back again, exploring and expanding the idea of “home”.In the end Chairman of the school S Karnail Singh Brar congratulated the teachers and students for putting up such a splendid show.
