Today marks Jodene Wartman’s final show as director of Eagan High School Summer Community Theatre.

Over the past eight years, Jodene has brought magic to our stage. She has touched thousands of actors, technicians, and audience members with her care and commitment to excellence. Her legacy and impact will steer our Summer Theatre for years to come.

This graphic, made by Oz actor McKenna Barker, is made up of photos from every summer show Jodene has directed. Zoom in and reminisce with us!

Jodene, thank you for everything.

Glinda’s face is how we’re feeling going into our final 2 SOLD OUT shows.

We can’t wait to welcome our last audiences to Munchkinland. See you there!
