Wizard of Oz Casting Call

I've had several poets ask who I'd have cast in the roles of characters, so if no one is willing to play along, OR allowed to... I'll still share my thoughts.  Since I limited the parts to 3 per character, please know that some of you would've been added to this list, but I didn't want to break my own rule.
 
TOTO, PULL BACK THE CURTAIN!!!

Dorothy - Tania, Deb M., Anaya
Tin Man - Sheriff K, David K, Mike G (because they are the law in Milton Creek)
Scarecrow- Terry Flood (because of his cover photo and his sense of humor)
Cowardly Lion - I'll just call BS for this one
Wicked Witch - There are 3, but they'd probably try to set me on fire
Glenda-Good Witch - FJ Thomas, Lin Lane, Susan Ashley (perfect candidates)
The Wizard - Tom Cunningham, John Watt, Mo McG (why not a wise woman?)    
Uncle Henry - Harry Horseman, Frederic Parker, John Gondolf       
Aunty Em- Belle, Paula G., Eve
Munchkins - I thought I'd get volunteers for this role
Toto- Caren K...my only choice because she's as adorable as the little pup

I see no harm in posting this list 
despite the one who raised a fist.
If anyone whose name I've used
feels terribly offended or abused,
just let me know and I'll remove it.
Make your own list. Use your wit.  (I'd like to see yours, too)

Thanks to those who asked that I post the cast of players.

Arlo Parker March 30, 2023 at 5:06 PM I misread this. I thought you were seeking the Wizard of Ox. Oops!! ~:)) Jenna Logan March 30, 2023 at 5:25 PM Arlo, I'm sending you an eye chart...Special Delivery to Commiefornia.

John Watt March 9, 2023 at 10:57 AM "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain"... I will happily serve as an understudy to Tom and Mo in the role of wizard and feel honored to be given a callback among such stellar actors. I'm afraid I missed the drama that inspired this but am always in admiration of your ability to tell it like it is with flair and wit. I enjoy your sense of fun. I hope you are well. Warm regards ~ John Jenna Logan March 9, 2023 at 4:42 PM Hi John, All three of you are worthy of being a true wizard in my eyes. Sometimes missing the drama is a good thing. lol Thanks for your thoughts. I am quite well and hanging in AP.

Deb M February 22, 2023 at 1:57 PM Hi Jenna…Oh l am happy l was a candidate for Dorothy but just happy to have a little lighthearted fun and a bit of a laugh…Deb x Jenna Logan February 22, 2023 at 2:26 PM It was fun to make my list. Thanks for wanting to be a character.

Caren Krutsinger February 21, 2023 at 6:19 AM I love being Toto - I am putting on my running shoes, and there is no one that loves being a puppy more than I do, so I thank you most kindly Jenna! I love it! Jenna Logan February 21, 2023 at 6:32 AM You're perfect for the role, Caren. Thank you for finding the humor in my idea, where others didn't or were afraid of angering the cowardly lion. You don't need a heart, a brain, or courage. You've got good chutzpah!

Mark Koplin February 21, 2023 at 4:43 AM I’ve got all of my lines memorized! Jenna Logan February 21, 2023 at 5:14 AM Lol. I’m sure you could ad lib all the things you’d like to say. Who needs a script?

Tania Kitchin February 20, 2023 at 1:47 PM Jenna, thank you, I guess I missed the drama regarding the original post. Thanks for including me, I am not sure why anyone would be offended to be included! Jenna Logan February 20, 2023 at 1:58 PM I suggested this in a post and then later in a blog, which someone complained about because admin removed it without writing a word to me. As far as why someone would be offended... the fear they'd be suggested for a role that would be unbecoming to them. Touch touch. It's all about having a little fun, which has been sorely lacking here for some time. Of course you'd be included!

Paula Goldsmith February 20, 2023 at 11:54 AM When do we start rehearsals? I pick, Aunty Em-"or" Munchkins for myself. Have a fun day................. Jenna Logan February 20, 2023 at 1:56 PM Thanks for playing along, Paula. I appreciate you for it and you'd be fine playing either character.

Tom Cunningham February 20, 2023 at 6:21 AM When do we start rehearsals? , im raring to go. Don't think for a minute anyone would be offended Jenna. Then again there's always one I suppose. Tom Jenna Logan February 20, 2023 at 6:56 AM Here’s an idea… you each get to write your own lines! No one should be offended.

David Kavanagh February 20, 2023 at 6:01 AM A stellar cast Jenna, you called it well, I even got a mention in my sought after roll, who’d be the cowardly Lion hey, no doubt it will probably scare off some comments, for fear of N/As being handed out, I would like to add Darlene in as the good witch, she’s perfect for that roll, I’m sure you could fill in as Dorothy too, cheers David Jenna Logan February 20, 2023 at 11:51 AM You pounded that nail, David. Jenna Logan February 20, 2023 at 6:55 AM No N/As here. Sounds like you have a plan. There are others worthy but I’ll just watch from backstage.

Mark Koplin February 20, 2023 at 5:47 AM It’s all in good fun, there will always be the haters I guess. Mark Koplin February 20, 2023 at 10:29 AM Absolutely!! Jenna Logan February 20, 2023 at 6:51 AM Yes, Mark. That was my intention I hope you like your character.
