“The Wizard of Oz,” which just wrapped its regular summer run, is its highest-attended show to date. During Monday’s event, crew member Chandler Dye said they’ve added 10 additional performances due to popular demand.

During a 2023 interview with EastIdahoNews.com, theater owner Justin Dabell said he made his acting debut as a munchkin in “The Wizard of Oz” when he was 13.

“I got a part and I was hooked,” Dabell told us at the time.
