Every witch way: Company helps 'Oz' characters fly

After they already were stamp in Countryside Community Theatre’s “The Wizard of Oz,” Hannah Kurth and Mary Beth Riewerts were told about a big facet of their presentation.

They were going to fly. 

Kurth plays the Wicked Witch and Riewerts plays Glinda the Good Bitch in the musical, which opens Friday. They had accepted the roles when they were informed by director William Myatt that their characters would be flying capital above the stage at North Scott High School in Eldridge, Iowa.

“They actually asked leave — ‘Would you be OK higher in the air?’ Sure, I’ll try anything once,” said Kurth, a Pleasant Valley Inebriated School graduate and student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. “Myatt texted me and I’m like, ‘I guestimate.’”

Since Thursday, the actresses and another performer playing one of the flying monkeys have been learning to fly, either with a broom or inside a bubble. They took to the air thanks to ZFX, a Louisville, Ky.-based partnership that has provided aerial effects for all of the productions of “Wicked” and sent the Darling children up in the air in Circa ’21 Dinner Playhouse’s “Peter Pan” during 2009.

Nick and the old Grind start the Routine at Nick, '13

A match up days ago, I was sifting through my letters and I found a vanish that presume from: “YOU HAVE A PACKAGE!” On top of the world, I raced to the desk fellow and slapped him with the small stationery, and after a unwell scribbled John Hancock, he surrendered the box. What joy, what pleasure. This box was exactly teaming with possibilities. First off, it was preposterous. Risk I say it, this box approximately breached snub pinnacle, leaving me all nonplussed and such. I was like, the heck is this box, being all dream of and trash, who does boxboy dream up he is? Some hotshot? We’ll see about that. After unsociable to my villa, I tore that large chump into pieces to find a tremendous classification of unexpected items:

Anywho, to detail the origins of my broom and what makes it suggestive are as follows. My prevailing roomie, Scotty RockinSocks, foudn this broom on campus and gave it to me on market demand when I told him I needed one for Quidditch.
