Local Teen Over the Rainbow for Starring Role in 'The Wizard of Oz'
Courtney Straub is a sophomore at Paul VI High School in Haddon Township.
A local teen won't have to click her heels together three times for a thrill of a lifetime.
For Courtney Straub, 15, a Paul VI High School sophomore, landing the role of Dorothy at the Woodbury Sketch Club Players was already a "dream come true."
"I always dreamed of playing Dorothy," Courtney said. "Performing in such a classic show like the Wizard of Oz in an amazing theatre like the Woodbury Sketch Club Players is truly an honor. The cast is also amazing and I am so lucky to work with such great actors."
Courtney's mom said she saw this coming long ago.
"She started singing and dancing when she was 4 years old, at school masses and her brother Eric's baseball and hockey games in Gloucester Township," said Patty Straub.
The production recently concluded at the Woodbury Sketch Club Players.
