For the "Wizard of Oz," she has drawn on some of the best area talent of all ages. Just as the role of Dorothy in the original 1939 film version of "The Wizard of Oz" proved to be the coming of age for Judy Garland, it could be the breakthrough for Mokena's own Samantha "Sam" Kuebler, who also is 16 years old. ...
