SCRIPT:
AT
THE FARM
(Background music, opening)
Narrator’s niece: What are
you going to read to me, uncle? You promised a story full of color, adventure
and brave characters. Is it the Wizard of Oz?
Narrator: (Explaining)
That’s the one, listen. (Reading) Dorothy was a little girl who lived in a farm
in the great plains of Kansas with her uncle Henry, her aunt Em, and a little
black dog called Toto. One day Dorothy was playing outside with her dog,
when something unexpected happened!
Uncle Henry: A tornado is coming! Dorothy, run!!
Narrator: (Reading)
Aunt Em went to the door, and when she saw the dark sky she knew they were in
danger.
Aunt
Em: Dorothy! Come inside and
go to the basement!
Narrator’s niece: Oh, no!
What happened to them?
Narrator: (Explaining)
Well, Toto and Dorothy went inside, but Toto got scared and hid under the bed,
while aunt Em opened the basement door and went inside. Meanwhile, Dorothy
tried to get Toto out from under the bed.
Dorothy: Toto, Toto come here!
Toto: Arf, arf! Are you crazy? Drag me if you
can!!
Narrator’s niece: Ay ahá!
Since when the dog talks?
Narrator: (laughing,
then reading)) Suddenly the house started to shake. Dorothy fell down to
the floor, and Toto jumped into her arms. The house started to spin
a few times, and to raise slowly into the air like a balloon, and they were
taken miles and miles away from their home. Dorothy decided to calm
down. She went to her bed, closed her eyes, and fell asleep. After a few
hours, the house stopped spinning, and she was awaken by a loud noise.
AT THE MUCHKING COUNTRY
((Background beautiful landscape of blue houses.
5 characters)
Narrator: (Reading)
Dorothy finally woke up, and when she went outside she was astonished by a
beautiful place full of blue houses, then she saw some people approaching.
Dorothy: What happened? The house
is not moving anymore… Come Toto, let’s go outside.
Toto: Arf, arf! Are you sure about that?
Dorothy: Oh, this place is so beautiful!
North
Witch: (Bowing) Welcome, young
sorceress to the Muchkin country. We want to thank you
for destroying the Evil Witch.
Dorothy: Very kind of you, but I haven’t
destroyed anybody.
Woman
1: Well, your house did. Look
over there!
Narrator: (Reading)
Under the house Dorothy could see a pair of legs with a pair of beautiful red
shoes.
Dorothy: Oh no! What can we
do?
North
Witch: There’s nothing we can do.
Dorothy: But… who was she?
Man
1: She was the East Evil
Witch. She kept prisoners the people from this city. They were her
slaves day and night, and now they are free.
Dorothy: And who are you?
North
Witch: I am the North Witch.
Dorothy: Are you a real witch?
North Witch: Of course. I am a good witch, but I am
not as powerful as the Evil Witch was.
Woman 2: Look over there?
Man 2: Her feet are gone!
Woman 1:She left only her red shoes.
North Witch: She was so old that her feet dried with
the sun. The shoes are yours…you can use them.
Narrator: (Reading)
Then she took the shoes and gave them to Dorothy, who put them on.
Narrator’s niece: Why did
the North Witch gave Dorothy the red shoes, uncle?
Narrator: (Explaining)
Because they had magical powers; keep listening.
Dorothy: I want to go home. Can you show me the way to Kansas?
North Witch: To the East and to the South there are great
deserts and nobody dares to cross them.
Man 1: And to the West there´s an evil
witch. If you go there, you would be her slave.
North Witch: I live North, where there’s a great
desert. So… we can’t help you.
(Dorothy
starts to cry).
North Witch: But.. what is your name, dear?
Dorothy: My name is Dorothy, and this is Toto.
(Suddenly
the Witch of the West appears, and says to Dorothy).
Witch of The West: What have you done! You
destroyed my sister!
North Witch: Get away from her! You can´t harm her!
Witch of the West: I want my sister’s shoes!
Give them to me!
North Witch: Now they belong to her! Go away!
Witch of the West: I will leave… but I’ll find you
later… I promise! Ha, ha, ha, ha
Narrator’s niece: Oh, bad
witch, get out!!
Narrator: (Explaining)
That’s exactly what she did; the Witch of the West disappeared, then the North
Witch gave Dorothy instructions.
North Witch: You must go to Emerald City. The
Wizard of Oz might help you.
Dorothy: Where is that city?
North Witch: It’s in the middle of the country. The
Wizard of Oz rules the city.
Dorothy: Is he a good man?
Toto: Arf, arf! Yeah, like uncle Henry?
(Everybody looks at the dog,
Toto goes behind Dorothy)
North Witch: He’s a good wizard, but I have never seen
him.
Dorothy: How can I get to that city?
North Witch: To go to Emerald City, just follow the
yellow brick road.
Woman 1: Follow the yellow brick road.
Woman 2: Follow the yellow brick road.
Man 1: Follow the yellow brick road.
Man 2: Follow the yellow brick road.
Dorothy: Are you coming with me?
Good Witch: No, I can’t, but when you get to Oz,
tell him your story and ask for help.
(The Good
Witch disappears)
Dorothy: Oh, she’s gone. Toto, we have to
go.
IN THE ROAD, LOOKING FOR EMERALD
CITY
(Background, the yellow brick
road; 5 characters)
Narrator: (Reading)
Dorothy put on the shoes. After that, she and Toto started walking through the
yellow brick road. After a while they heard someone talking.
Scarecrow: I need a brain! I need a brain!
Dorothy: Did you hear that, Toto?
Who is talking?
Toto: Arf, arf! Besides us?
Scarecrow: It´s me. Look this way.
(Dorothy
sees a big corn field, where there is a Scarecrow talking to her)
Dorothy: Did you say that you need a
brain?
Scarecrow: Yes, I only have straw.
Dorothy: And, how can you talk?
Scarecrow: I don’t know.
Dorothy: Well, I cannot get you a brain, but if you come with me to visit the
Wizard of Oz, I am sure he will give you a brain.
Scarecrow: I will go with you.
Narrator’s niece: Oh, she’s
got a new friend!
Narrator: (Explaining)
That’s right! So Dorothy, Toto and the Scarecrow kept walking. After
a while they saw a Tin Man
beside the road.
Tin Man: Oil can! oil can!
Dorothy: Oil can?
Scarecrow: I think he´s trying to say that he wants
some oil.
Dorothy: Look, there´s an oil can in the
floor. Maybe that’s what he wants.
Scarecrow: Where do you want me to put the oil?
Tin Man: In my chin… in my chin.
Scarecrow: Here.. I´ll put some drops in your chin.
Tin Man: Oh now I can talk again!
But I need some in my arms, too.
Scarecrow: Let me put some in your arms.
Tin Man: I also need oil in my legs and
in my feet.
Dorothy: Let me put some, too.
Tin Man: Perfect! Now I can talk
and move again. Now my problem is that I don’t have a heart.
Dorothy: You don’t have a heart?
Tin Man: No, I want a heart. I want
to feel emotions… I want to know what love is.
Dorothy: Well, come with us then.
We are going to see the Wizard of Oz in Emerald City, he will help us!
Narrator: (Reading)
And Dorothy, Toto, the Scarecrow and the Tin Man continued their journey
through the yellow brick road. After a few hours, Toto started barking.
Toto: Arf! Arf! Arf!
Dorothy: Toto, stop barking!
Toto: Arf!
Arf! Hey lady, I’m a dog, what else am I supposed to do?
(Everybody looks at the dog,
he shows surprise)
Toto: Arf!
Arf! What,… what? Everybody talks in this tale!!
Narrator’s niece: Why was
Toto barking, uncle?
Narrator: (explaining)
Because he saw a scared Lion that was hiding behind the bushes beside the road,
and so did Dorothy.
Dorothy: Come here Lion. Toto will
not harm you.
Toto: Arf!
Arf! Speak for yourself!
(The Lion
comes out from his hiding place, crying)
Dorothy: But…why are you crying?
Lion: I am crying because I wished
that I had courage. I was scared with your little dog.
(Toto laughs feeling superior)
Dorothy: I don’t understand. We know
that you are the king of the jungle.
Lion: I know, but somehow I lost my courage.
Tin
Man: Why don’t you come with us to
visit the Wizard of Oz. Maybe he can also help you!
Lion: Yes, I need courage, and I want
to get it. Let´s go!
Narrator: (Reading) So everybody decided
to go visit the Wizard of Oz hoping to make their wishes come true
Narrator’s niece: (funny
attitude)Yeaaah!...(serious attitude) I mean, nice that all of them are going
together.
AT THE PALACE
(Background, the inside of the
palace; 7 characters)
(A guard
opened the door)
Guard: What do you want? Go away,
no one is allowed to get even near the palace.
Dorothy: Oh, please open the door.
We have come to look for the Wizard of Oz. He’s the only one who can help
us.
Guard: Who sent you here?
Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin man, Lion: The North Witch… look at her
shoes!
(The
Guard looks at the shoes)
Guard: Let me see what I can do.
Wait here!
(After a
while, the guard finally opens the door)
Guard: Come in. Go straight
through the hall, then turn to the right. You will find a red door, open
it, and there you will find the Wizard.
Dorothy: Oh, thank you.
Narrator’s niece: Great,
they’re going to get their wishes come true!!
Narrator: (Explaining)
Wait dear, there’s more! (Reading) They entered the palace, went through
the long hall, then they got to the red door; they opened it, and as soon
as they were inside the Wizard appeared behind a big mirror that was in
the wall.
Wizard: What do you want! How do
you dare to come to my palace and bother me! I hope it is important what
you have to say, otherwise you will regret it.
Dorothy: Oh, no..
Lion: Please Wizard…
Scarecrow: What we have to say…
Tin
Man: It´s really important!
Wizard: Talk then. I am wasting my
time.
Narrator’s niece: What a
bad mood of this wizard!!
Narrator: (Explaining)
Oh, yes. Anyway, they explained what they needed.
Wizard: Very well. I will help
you, but with one condition. First you have to destroy the most cruel
witch in the country… the Witch of the West… then your problems will be solved.
Tin
Man: But, how are we going to do that?
Wizard: When you destroy the witch…You
will get your brain… and you will get courage… and you will have your heart!
Dorothy: And me?
Toto: Arf!
Arf! Only you? What about me? We are a team, remember?
Wizard: Then, and only then, the
North Witch will tell you how you can go home. Now… go!
Narrator: They
left the palace and started their journey looking for the evil witch.
After a long walk they arrived to a beautiful garden.
(Song of Count on Me, from the original movie)
(Background
of an abandoned city, far away)
Dorothy: Oh, this garden is so
beautiful… and those flowers are so pretty… and the smell is so fragrant…
that I really want to sleep…(falls asleep)
Narrator: And
Dorothy fell asleep.
Lion: Me too… I feel so relax…..
(falls asleep)
Tin
Man: Ohh, I don’t even feel my arms…
I am so sleepy…. (falls
asleep)
Scarecrow: No! You can´t go to sleep now.
We have things to do… (falls
asleep)
Toto: Arf!
Arf! Don’t smell, don’t smell…ah, I feel so light…(falls asleep)
Narrator’s niece: Oh, my
gosh!! Everybody fell asleep!! Why?
Narrator:
(Explaining)
Because they were smelling poppies, the most beautiful and dangerous flowers
there. (Reading) While they were sleeping, they were captured by some evil
flying monkeys that were sent by the Witch of the West. After a few
hours they woke up.
AT THE WEST WITCH´S PALACE
(Background, the inside of
the witch palace; 6 characters)
Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man, Lion: Where are we?
Witch of the West: You are in my palace! And
now… take off my sister’s shoes!
Dorothy: No! I will not give them to you!
Witch of the West: I am warning you! …If you don’t
give me the shoes you will never see the light of day again! Ha, ha, ha,
ha
Scarecrow: Let’s get her, that’s what we are here for!
Witch of the West: Ha, ha, ha, you will be easily
destroyed…. I cast a spell on you…. tricky tash, tricky mash, turn
this piece of straw into ash! Burn!
Dorothy: Stop it!
Narrator: Then
Dorothy saw a bucket of water that was on the floor, took it, and threw it at the burning scarecrow, but some of the water
spilled the witch.
Witch of the West: No! No! What have you
done, I am melting… melting… mel…. Oh, oh, oh…
Narrator: Dorothy
didn’t know that water would make the witch disappear.
Tin Man: Dorothy, you destroyed her!
Dorothy:
Now that
we have destroyed the evil witch, we will have what we need. Scarecrow
will get his brain!
Scarecrow: And the Tin Man will get his heart!
Tin Man: And the Lion will have courage!
Dorothy: And me? How can I go home?
Toto: Arf!
Arf! Team, team…you, me together, right?
(The North
Witch appears)
Dorothy: Oh, Good Witch, please help
me! Now everybody has what they wished for, except me. Help me go
home, please.
North Witch: Oh Dorothy, if you only knew! The
power is inside you. It has been inside you all along. The shoes
that you are wearing can take you anywhere you wish to go.
Dorothy: But… how can my shoes take me
home?
North Witch: All you have to do is tap your heels
together three times, and say to yourself: ” There’s no place like home”…
“There’s no place like home”… ”There’s no place like home”.
Dorothy: Oh, but first I have to say
goodbye to my friends. Oh, my good friends I will miss you so much!
Scarecrow: I will miss you too. And thanks to you
my brain will help me think of you and never forget you.
Tin Man: And me, I will keep you in my
heart.
Lion: And I will always have courage
to fight in your name.
North Witch: Are you ready?
Dorothy: Yes.
Toto: Arf!
Arf! Me too!
North Witch: Now close your eyes and do as I told you.
Dorothy: There’s no place like home…
There’s no place like home… There’s no place like home (After that, she
taps three times)
AT THE FARM
(Background, the farm at
the great plains of Kansas; 4

Narrator’s niece: What
happened next? Did she really get home, uncle?
Narrator: Indeed. Dorothy
woke up in her bed.
Dorothy: Where am I?
Uncle Henry : You’re home!
Dorothy: I am home! It was all a
dream. Oh, dear uncle and aunt… I love you so much… I thought I would
never see you again.
Uncle Henry and Aunt Em: (hugging Dorothy) We love you too!
Toto: Arf!
Arf! And I love everybody, yeah!!!!
