The Wizard of OZ __________________________ a LINX adaptation GREEN CAST LINX 141 LINDEN ST. WELLESLEY, MA 01746 (781) 235-3210 [email protected] PROLOGUE [ALL] GLINDA GREETS THE AUDIENCE [CURTAIN OPENS. Behind the curtain is GLINDA. She looks at the audience with wonder.] GLINDA_PP What a wonderful audience. So many excited and eager faces. Are we all ready for an adventure? Watch one another’s back now. Things do sneak up on you in Oz. Fortunately, they can be very nice things... (points to back of house) Like that... 1ST SONG - FIREWORK ACT I, SCENE 1 [PP] IN WHICH DOROTHY IS CALLED BEFORE THE WIZARD. CHARACTERS: WIZARD, DOROTHY, SCARECROW, LION, TIN MAN [Head of Wizard hovers before audience. Below, Dorothy, Scarecrow, Lion and Tin Man tremble in terror. Mid-runner curtain is closed behind them. Also onstage is a booth with a hanging curtain. Thick ducts branch out from the booth.] WIZARD I am the great and powerful OZ! Who dares approach me? [Scarecrow, Lion and Tin Man shove Dorothy forward. Dorothy looks back at them.] SCARECROW_PP You got this. LION_PP We’re right behind you. [Dorothy turns toward Wizard. Scarecrow, Lion and Tin Man shuffle backwards. Dorothy turns to them, noticing the increased distance.] TIN MAN_PP Right behind you! 2. WIZARD (to Dorothy) Who are you? DOROTHY_PP My name is Dorothy. Dorothy Gale. WIZARD And where do you come from, “Dorothy Gale”? DOROTHY_PP Kansas. WIZARD Kansas? (long pause) What is Kansas? DOROTHY_PP It’s a place. My home - and I so want to return. A tornado picked up my home, picked up me and my little dog - only, he’s not so little anymore. When the house fell - oh! - the most terrible thing happened... [We hear the sounds of a tornado, a foundation being torn up, a dog yapping as the lights go down. Audience is left in the dark as the sounds play.] ACT I, SCENE 2 [SL] IN WHICH THE MUNCHKINS DETERMINE IF DOROTHY IS A GOOD WITCH OR A BAD WITCH CHARACTERS: DOROTHY, TOTO, GLINDA, FERÍA, COCO, POWDER, CINNAMON, HONEY, DIP, JELLY, PUMPKIN [Mid-runner opens. Lights slowly return, revealing a house that has crashed down in the middle of Munchkinland. Beneath the house are two legs wearing striped tights and ruby shoes. Door falls off hinge to reveal DOROTHY. She steps out and looks around.] DOROTHY_SL Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore. 3. [Enter Toto through doorway. He is also full of wonder. Dorothy has not looked at him yet.] TOTO_SL You ain’t just whistlin’ Dixie. DOROTHY_SL (spins around, surprised) Toto! You can talk! And you’re huge! TOTO_SL Whoa! Look at me! And you understand me! DOROTHY_SL And you understand me! TOTO_SL Well, I could always understand you. Isn’t that funny? Animals understand people, but people don’t understand animals. It just goes to show, you people aren’t as highly evolved as you think you are. In fact, now that you understand me, there’s a few things I’ve been wanting to point out... DOROTHY_SL Toto... Toto... Toto! Now’s not the time. [While Toto was talking - and Dorothy was trying to get his attention - the Munchkins had been emerging from various spots.] COCO Are you a good witch? HONEY Or are you a bad witch? CINNAMON She’s awfully pretty, Pumpkin PUMPKIN Yes, Cinnamon. I bet she’s a good witch. DIP I don’t think she’s any kind of witch. POWDER She has to be some kind of witch, Dip. 4. JELLY Powder’s right. Only a witch can kill a witch. COCO Which brings us back to our first question: HONEY Are you a good witch? CINNAMON Or a bad witch? DOROTHY_SL But I haven’t killed any witch. PUMPKIN You sure did. DIP You dropped a house on her head. POWDER You can see her legs right there. DOROTHY_SL Oh, dear! How terrible! JELLY Terrible? Coco! She’s a bad witch! DOROTHY_SL No! COCO Then you’re a good witch? [Enter Glinda and Fería. All the Munchkins murmur in awe.] GLINDA_SL Hello, dear friends. FERÍA_SL Perhaps we can help clarify this matter. 5. [Munchkins all step aside. Glinda glides up to Dorothy. Pause.] GLINDA_SL Are you a good witch or a bad witch? FERÍA_SL That helped a lot, Glinda. Thank you. [Toto marches in front of Dorothy.] TOTO_SL Listen! She’s not any kind of witch. Witches are old and ugly and gross. GLINDA_SL I’m a witch. TOTO_SL (beat) Sometimes it’s nice not being understood. (ducks behind Dorothy) FERÍA_SL I’m Fería, the Good Witch of the North. She is Glinda. Good Witch of the South. (pointing to legs) That was the Bad Witch of the East. GLINDA_SL Now then... are you a good witch or a bad witch? DOROTHY_SL ...Good? [All the Munchkins cheer.] MUNCHKINS She’s a good witch! She killed the bad witch! (sing) Ding-dong the witch is dead! Which ol’ witch? The wicked Witch! Ding-dong the wicked witch is dead! [Lightning and Thunder rip across stage. The Munchkins scatter.] 6. TOTO_SL What was that? HONEY It’s the Wicked Witch! She’s coming. TOTO_SL I thought Dorothy killed the Wicked Witch. DIP She killed the Witch of the East! CINNAMON That’s the Wicked Witch of the West! POWDER You’d better hurry and get out of here. JELLY Here. Take these shoes! PUMPKIN The ruby slippers. Jelly, you’re a genius. COCO (to Dorothy) My friend, don’t take those shoes off. HONEY They have incredible magic! DIP The shoes will prospect you, Dorothy. POWDER You mean ‘protect’, Dip. [Dip nods happily. Another strike of lightning and thunder makes all cower.] DOROTHY_SL But where should I go? How can I get home? FERÍA_SL You’ll have to seek the Wizard. 7. JELLY Oh! The Wizard! He’s wonderful! CINNAMON Yes! He’ll know what to do! TOTO_SL But how do we get there? GLINDA_SL You must follow the Yellow Brick Road. (points over audience) See it there? DOROTHY_SL It stretches ever so far. Could someone keep us company? PUMPKIN You mean... leave Munchkinland? FERÍA_SL Excellent idea. (to the Munchkins) Dorothy needs someone to guide her. Any munchkin that wishes to volunteer, please step forward. [All Munchkins, except Boq, step back.] FERÍA_SL Boq! That’s very kind of you. BOQ_SL What? (realizes what happened) Listen, I’d love to help her. Really! But there’s a problem. GLINDA_SL Which is? BOQ_SL I don’t want to. GLINDA_SL But you are perfect, Boq. You’ve been to the Emerald City. 8. BOQ_SL Only once — by accident. (eyeing another Munchkin) Someone thought it would be funny to tie me to a Wandering Chicken. [Toto opens mouth to ask “How” a chicken could pull him all the way to a distant city.] BOQ_SL (holding up finger to Toto) Don’t ask. [Toto closes mouth.] FERÍA_SL Boq, you will lead Dorothy to the Emerald City - or I will turn you into a chicken. BOQ_SL (eyes grow wide then, to Dorothy, pleasant but nervous) When do we leave? COCO Don’t worry, Boq. It’s not that dangerous. DIP Oh, sure it is, Coco. The witch’s servants are everywhere. CINNAMON And they are terribly mean. HONEY What Coco was trying to say, you two, was that Boq will make it through okay. POWDER Right. He’s not going to get gobbled up. PUMPKIN Or trampled on. JELLY Or torn into little pieces. BOQ_SL You can all stop comforting me now. Thank you. 9. GLINDA_SL Off you go! MUNCHKINS Follow the yellow brick road! Ha-ha! Follow the yellow brick road! Hee-hee! Follow, follow, follow, follow, Follow the yellow brick road! Oh! If ever, oh, ever a wiz there was The Wizard of Oz is one because Because, because, because, because, because! Because of the wonderful things he does. La-la-la la-la-la-la... LA! You’re off to see the Wizard, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz! [Thunder.] MUNCHKINS Here she comes! GLINDA_SL I will stall her. [Exit.] FERÍA_SL Glinda, no! She’s become too powerful! Glinda! ACT I, SCENE 3 [PP] IN WHICH TOTO AND BOQ STEP BEFORE THE WIZARD. CHARACTERS: DOROTHY, WIZARD, LION, SCARECROW, TIN MAN, TOTO, BOQ [Scene continues with Dorothy before the face of the Wizard. Lion, Scarecrow and Tin Man are still behind her. Toto and Boq are now visible in the shadows.] 10. WIZARD And now you see me. Come forward, dog. You too, Munchkin. Why do you hide? TOTO_PP I... I wasn’t hiding. BOQ_PP I was. And he left a puddle in the corner. TOTO_PP What?! I didn’t! BOQ_PP You most certainly did. TOTO_PP (through clenched teeth) The big talking head startled me. WIZARD Silence! So, Dorothy Gale, you came without meeting the West witch? DOROTHY_PP Oh, but I did meet the Witch. She caught me on the road. WIZARD Were you not scared? BOQ_PP Scared? The dog’s lucky it’s the yellow brick road. TOTO_PP (clenched teeth again) Would you stop?! WIZARD What did she say to you? 11. ACT I, SCENE 4 [CS] IN WHICH DOROTHY FIRST FACES THE WITCH CHARACTERS: DOROTHY, TOTO, BOQ, SCARECROW, WICKED WITCH [Dorothy walks along the road with Toto and Boq. A SCARECROW rests on a wooden post near an immense tree (the booth turned around). One arm is pointing at the audience.] TOTO_CS The road splits. DOROTHY_CS Excuse me, Boq. Which way should we go? BOQ_CS I was being dragged behind a chicken. You might as well ask that scarecrow. SCARECROW_CS That way seems nice.

    "SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES": CONSTRUCTING THE WITCH IN CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE Catherine Armetta Shufelt A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2007 Committee: Dr. Angela Nelson, Advisor Dr. Andrew M. Schocket Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Donald McQuarie Dr. Esther Clinton © 2007 Catherine A. Shufelt All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Angela Nelson, Advisor What is a Witch? Traditional mainstream media images of Witches tell us they are evil “devil worshipping baby killers,” green-skinned hags who fly on brooms, or flaky tree huggers who dance naked in the woods. A variety of mainstream media has worked to support these notions as well as develop new ones. Contemporary American popular culture shows us images of Witches on television shows and in films vanquishing demons, traveling back and forth in time and from one reality to another, speaking with dead relatives, and attending private schools, among other things. None of these mainstream images acknowledge the very real beliefs and traditions of modern Witches and Pagans, or speak to the depth and variety of social, cultural, political, and environmental work being undertaken by Pagan and Wiccan groups and individuals around the world. Utilizing social construction theory, this study examines the “historical process” of the construction of stereotypes surrounding Witches in mainstream American society as well as how groups and individuals who call themselves Pagan and/or Wiccan have utilized the only media technology available to them, the internet, to resist and re- construct these images in order to present more positive images of themselves as well as build community between and among Pagans and nonPagans.

I appreciate your words of wisdom and advice that always seem to be just what I need to hear. To each of my fellow graduate assistants, thank you for “dancing through life” with me. Thank you for becoming not only co-workers, but also some of my best friends. To my thesis committee – Dr. William Mullen, Dr. Faith Mullen, and Dr. Lynnda S.

Finally, to Mrs. Kim, and all of my fellow “Touch of Swing”-ers, who inspired my love of the Wicked production, and thus, this study. For the long days of rehearsals, even longer nights on tour buses, and endless hours of memories that I’ll not soon forget... “Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better?

    Louder Than War Favourites

    Albums of the Year 2018 : The Top 25 Ged Babey 9 December, 2018 As voted for by 30 of our writers, here are the Top 25 Albums of 2018. The Number One received more than twice the votes as the second place. The next ten were hotly contested with the narrowest of margins, and the rest got the same number of votes -so are in random order to be frank. But… Every one is a winner! 2018 was a great year for music and the Number 1 is no surprise… ONE IDLES Joy As An Act of Resistance (Partisan) Punk Rock reinvented and not wearing a mask of masculinity or yoke of tradition, but a wicked smile and its broken heart exposed but still beating in its chest. Punk rock which instead of calling for Anarchy and saying I Don’t Care is shouting UNITY! and LOVE IS ALL. Reviewed here by Ged Babey IDLES - DANNY NEDELKO TWO The Blinders Columbia (Modern Sky) This power trio, this band of very modern troubadours, this enlightened youth, deliver an album so explosive, so perfect, it defies any attempt at categorisation. There are odd time signatures, indefinite song structures but the tracks ebb and flow beautifully. Columbia as an album is a single piece of art as a concept. Listen, track by track, join up the dots, get the message loud and clear – England is indeed dreaming. Reviewed here by Nigel Carr The Blinders - L’etat C’est Moi [Music Video] THREE ILL : We Are ILL (Box Records) All-woman five-piece… currently based in Manchester, who highlight that quality music does not have to mean an emulation of that which has gone before.
