    Audition Side 1: Miss Gulch, Uncle Henry, Aunt Em, Dorothy Miss Gulch rides along the country road on a bicycle. Farmhands exit. Miss Gulch stops in front of Gale's home. Uncle Henry moves forward to meet her. Miss Gulch: Mr. Gale! Uncle Henry: Howdy, Miss Gulch. Miss Gulch: I want to see you and your wife right away about Dorothy! Uncle Henry: Dorothy? Well, what has Dorothy done? Miss Gulch: What’s she done? I’m all but lame from the bite on my leg. Uncle Henry: You mean, she bit you? Miss Gulch: No, her dog! Uncle Henry: Oh, she bit her dog, eh? Miss Gulch: No! Dorothy and Aunt Em enter. Dorothy is carrying Toto i n her arms. Miss Gulch: (seeing Toto) That dog’s a menace to the community. I’m going to take him to the ​ ​ sheriff and make sure he is destroyed. Dorothy: Destroyed? Toto? Oh, you can’t! You mustn’t! Miss Gulch shows order to Uncle Henry and goes to take Toto from Dorothy. Dorothy screams at Miss Gulch. Uncle Henry reads the order. Then, takes Toto from Dorothy and places him in Miss Gulch’s basket. Auntie Em! Uncle Henry! You won’t let her, will you? Uncle Henry: Of course, we won’t. Will we, Em? Dorothy: Please, Aunt Em, Toto didn’t mean to. (Dorothy takes Toto back out of the basket.) ​ He didn’t know he was doing anything wrong. I’m the one that ought to be punished. I let him go in her garden. You can send me to bed without supper… Miss Gulch: If you don’t hand over that dog, I’ll bring a damage suit that’ll take out your whole farm! There’s a law protecting folks against dogs that bite.

  • Chapter 2: How Uncle Henry Got Into Trouble
    Chapter 2: How Uncle Henry Got into Trouble Dorothy Gale lived on a farm in Kansas, with her Aunt Em and her Uncle Henry. It was not a big farm, nor a very good one, because sometimes the rain did not come when the crops needed it, and then everything withered and dried up. Once a cyclone had carried away Uncle Henry’s house, so that he was obliged to build another; and as he was a poor man he had to mortgage his farm to get the money to pay for the new house. Then his health became bad and he was too feeble to work. The doctor ordered him to take a sea voyage and he went to Australia and took Dorothy with him. That cost a lot of money, too. Uncle Henry grew poorer every year, and the crops raised on the farm only bought food for the family. Therefore the mortgage could not be paid. At last the banker who had loaned him the money said that if he did not pay on a certain day, his farm would be taken away from him. This worried Uncle Henry a good deal, for without the farm he would have no way to earn a living. He was a good man, and worked in the field as hard as he could; and Aunt Em did all the housework, with Dorothy’s help. Yet they did not seem to get along. This little girl, Dorothy, was like dozens of little girls you know. She was loving and usually sweet-tempered, and had a round rosy face and earnest eyes.

Their sweet little letters plead to know “more about Dorothy”; and they ask: “What became of the Cowardly Lion?” and “What did Ozma do after- ward?”— meaning, of course, after she became the Ruler of Oz. And some of them suggest plots to me, saying: “Please have Dorothy go to the Land of Oz again”; or, “Why don’t you make Ozma and Dorothy meet, and have a good time together?” Indeed, could I do all that my little friends ask, I would be obliged to write dozens of books to satisfy their demands.

By foregrounding the role of the audience in creating meaning and by minimizing the “show” as a coherent work, I reconnect musicals to their roots in comedy by way of Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories of carnival and reduced laughter. The audiences I study are kids, queers, and collectors, an alliterative set of people whose gender identities and expressions all depart from or fall outside of the normative binary. Focusing on these audiences, whose musical comedy fandom is widely acknowledged but little studied, I follow Raymond Knapp and Stacy Wolf to demonstrate that musical comedy provides a forum for identity formation especially for these problematically gendered audiences. ii The dissertation of Samuel Dworkin Baltimore is approved.

  • Wonderful Wizard of Oz: Chapter 1 by L
    p The onderful W Wizard by L. Frank Baum of Oz p CHAPTER 1: THE CYCLONE Dorothy lived in the midst of the great Kansas prairies, with Uncle Henry, who was a farmer, and Aunt Em, who was the farmer’s wife. Their house was small, for the lumber to build it had to be carried by wagon many miles. There were four walls, a floor and a roof, which made one room; and this room contained a rusty looking cookstove, a cupboard for the dishes, a table, three or four chairs, and the beds. Uncle Henry and Aunt Em had a big bed in one corner, and Dorothy a little bed in another corner. There was no garret at all, and no cellar—except a small hole dug in the ground, called a cyclone cellar, where the family could go in case one of those great whirlwinds arose, mighty enough to crush any building in its path. It was reached by a trap door in the middle of the floor, from which a ladder led down into the small, dark hole. When Dorothy stood in the doorway and looked around, she could see nothing but the great gray prairie on every side. Not a tree nor a house broke the broad sweep of flat country that reached to the edge of the sky in all directions. The sun had baked the plowed land into a gray mass, with little cracks running through it. Even the grass was not green, for the sun had burned the tops of the long blades until they were the same gray color to Created for Lit2Go on the web at fcit.usf.edu The Wonderful Wizard of Oz: Chapter 1 By L.
