Nominations for the 2024 Jester Awards were announced last month, and the Liberal High School Drama Department’s production of “The Wizard of Oz” garnered the following nominations: Emma Davidson for Best Supporting Performer as the Wicked Witch of the West; J. Brooks Kappelmann for Best Cameo Performer as The Guard; Atticus Carrillo, Tomas Ralios Cortez, Cairo Svaty for Best Pre-High School Performer as the Lollipop Guild; Best Stage Crew; Miriam Climenhaga for Best Program Design; and Nikki Frydendall for Best Lobby Display.

The ceremony took place at the Century II Performing Arts Center in Wichita this past weekend, and Kappelmann’s performance earned him a win. Kappelmann said the initial news of the nomination was its own surprise.
