John Travolta talks to all of the Munchkins in the cast of "Wizard of Oz" during intermission, in this photo sent in by Laura Little of the Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre.

Travolta was in town to attend "The Wizard of Oz" because two of his sisters, Ellen and Margaret, played the Wicked Witch and the Good Witch, respectively.

He apparently gave the children an inspiring talk about following their dreams.

"A special day indeed for the 27 local children," noted Little.
