He played the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland, Scrooge in A Commedia Christmas Carol, directed and played various roles in Baskerville, Dracula in Dracula, Matthew in Anne of Green Gables, and The Villain in Star Tracks. He is so deeply grateful that we have an active community theater so he can participate in doing one of the things he loves most.

 

Kyle Brogly as Scarecrow

This is the second show my family and I have been a part of. We were fortunate to have been able to be a part of the Christmas Carol at the Shuler Theater last year and we absolutely loved it. Within the performance realm, my wife and I had a blast being street musicians in the Hallmark movie Christmas Tree Lane, which was released in 2020. We moved from southern Utah to Raton, New Mexico two years ago and have felt greatly welcomed into the community. The journey with The Wizard of Oz so far has been incredibly fun. We love the cast and crew we are working with.

 

Alexandra Brogly as Glinda

Stepping into the role of Glinda is a dream come true, and I am so grateful to be part of this production of The Wizard of Oz! One of the greatest joys of this production is sharing the stage as a family! Our family’s theater journey began with A Christmas Carol in Raton, where we moved two years ago. My handsome husband and I also appeared together in a 2020 Hallmark Christmas movie Christmas Tree Lane! Beyond the stage, I love playing the cello, serving at our church, homeschooling my three beautiful babies, and gardening and raising animals on our little wannabe homestead! We hope this magical story brings you as much joy as it has brought our family!

Mileene Sanchez as Miss Almira Gulch, The Wicked Witch of the West

Mileene is a Trinidad native and has been teaching kindergarten in Aguilar since 1998. This is Mileene’s 2nd MSL production, having previously played Marilla in Anne of Green Gables. Mileene has been a big fan of community theater back to the early days of SCRT. As a child, she remembers watching The Wizard of Oz every year when it aired, and recently discovered that Margaret Hamilton (the actress cast as the Wicked Witch of the West in the 1939 MGM movie) was also a kindergarten teacher!

Bobby Warren as The Wizard of Oz, stagehand

He would like to thank the audience for supporting local theatre and encourage everyone to audition for future productions!

Elizabeth JK James as Auntie Em, Ensemble (crow, Ozian)

Elizabeth moved to Trinidad in 2022 to semi-retire. As a youngster from ages 7-15, theatre was always an outlet for an active, busy, creative kid. Other roles of life came into play, but the theatre and its many parts were always somewhere in the background. As a teacher of English & Lit, Elizabeth wrote and directed a number of small productions throughout that career. Now, many years later, she’s been able to return to the stage to act in a small pivotal role for The Wizard of Oz—the very same play she first acted in at age 7!

Harper Kolczyk as Ensemble (Ozian, tree, flying monkey, cyclone)

I was born in Springfield Massachusetts and moved to Trinidad with my twin sister when we were 6 months old, and have been living here with my dad for 11 years.

I had very little theater experience before, but I’ve built quite the resume since I walked into MSL. This is my 6th show and I love it! The story of The Wizard of Oz is one that I cherish. Often times we already have what we are yearning for. I hope you enjoy.

I am so happy to be a Munchkin and a Poppy in The Wizard of Oz!

When I’m not at rehearsal, I stay busy with dance, gymnastics, volleyball, and basketball. I also love reading and spending time with my family.

Copelan Brogly as Ensemble (Mayor of Munchkinland, flying monkey)

I am so excited to be playing the Mayor of Munchkinland! (I only wish I could wear a bald cap to complete the look!) I love acting, and this is my second community theater production after playing Little Ebeneezer Scrooge in A Christmas Carol last December. My favorite role so far, though, was being one of the children welcoming Jesus into Jerusalem in the first episode of The Chosen Season 4. When I’m not acting, I love riding my dirt bike, collecting and playing with my Eldrador Creatures, and drawing. I’m really happy to be in this play with my dad, mom, and sister, and I hope you enjoy the show!

All of these performances have allowed her to grow in many ways, such as being comfortable onstage and creating connections with other actors of any age.
