3 SETTING Time: Modern times and when Toto was young. Place: Toto s home and various locations in and around the Land of Oz DOWN RIGHT in front of the curtain is Toto s living room with a rocking chair, an end table with framed photographs, a lamp, and a rug with cushions or dog beds and blankets. This will remain in place for the entire play. Munchkinland, the dark forest, Oz s throne room, and the Wicked Witch s castle are all done onstage and can be as simple or elaborate as your space and budget allow. The minimal props required to establish each scene are specified in the production notes. Other locations are simply created in front of the curtain. More important than elaborate sets, the story should flow continuously without breaks for scene or set changes. SYNOPSIS OF SCENES ACT ONE Scene One: Toto s living room and Dorothy s house that s just fallen, both played in front of the curtain. (NOTE: Scenes throughout the play will switch back and forth from Toto s living room to various other locations.) Scene Two: Munchkinland onstage plus various locations along the yellow brick road which are played in front of the curtain. Scene Three: Several locations deep in a dark forest. ACT TWO Scene One: The gate to the City of Emeralds, played in front of the curtain. Scene Two: Oz s throne room and outside the throne room in front of the curtain. Scene Three: The witch s castle. Scene Four: The witch s castle. Scene Five: The gate to the City of Emeralds and Oz s throne room. Scene Six: Munchkinland. iv
4 1 2 THE WIZARD OF OZ AND TOTO, TOO! ACT ONE Scene One LIGHTS UP: Toto s living room, DOWN RIGHT, played before the curtain. TOTO ENTERS, looking for his puppies. He is all grown up after his adventures with Dorothy. DOWN LEFT, in front of the curtain, is a cutout façade of Dorothy s house, unlit. TOTO: Kids! Kids? Where are ya, you little ankle biters? Come on out. It s time for bed. (Looks around for his puppies and sees PUPPY ONE poke his/her head out from behind the curtain, giggle, then disappear again.) Got ya! (Laughs.) Okay, come on out now. No more hiding. Time for bed. PUPPIES: (ENTER. Whine.) Daddy, Daddy! Can t we stay up just a little bit longer, please? TOTO: Nope. Time for bed. Go on, munchkins. (Sits in his chair. PUPPIES crowd around him.) PUPPY ONE: Daddy, can you tell us a story before bed, please? PUPPY TWO: Yeah! Tell us a story! PUPPY THREE: Tell us about that time you rescued Timmy from the well! PUPPIES: The well! Yeah, the well! PUPPY ONE: No, tell us about how you and Han Solo defeated the evil empire and saved the universe! PUPPIES: Save the universe! Save the universe! PUPPY TWO: No! Tell us the one about Oz! PUPPIES: Oz! Oz! Oz! Yeah! Tell us that one, Daddy. Tell us that one! TOTO: Oh, all right. But you promise straight to bed after this? (PUPPIES sit on the cushions/dog beds at TOTO S feet.) PUPPY ONE: Yes, Daddy! PUPPY TWO: Straight to bed, Pops! PUPPY THREE: We promise! TOTO: Okay a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away PUPPY THREE: No, Daddy, that s the wrong one! PUPPY TWO: We want to hear about Oz! PUPPIES: About Oz! TOTO: Right, sorry. Okay, a long time ago, when your dad was just a wee pup, not much older than you kids are now, I lived in a land called Kansas. Even then, my best friend was Dorothy, though she was a small human back then. (DOROTHY and YOUNG TOTO ENTER 1
5 from the AUDIENCE and cross down the center aisle to the stage and make their way to their house, DOWN LEFT.) PUPPY ONE: What was Kansas like? TOTO: To be honest, Kansas was boring! There wasn t much there but corn and cows. Everything was pretty dull and gray. Of course, we re colorblind, so I guess everything is gray. There were some interesting smells in Kansas, though. Ever been to a hog farm? Woo-ee! Anyway, one day Dorothy and I were out for a walk, and suddenly the skies grew darker, the wind picked up, and it started to rain. Thunder and lightning filled the sky! (SOUND EFFECT: THUNDER AND WIND. LIGHTS FLASH to indicate lightning. DOROTHY and YOUNG TOTO huddle together in fear.) TOTO: A tornado was coming. It was the biggest twister I d ever seen. We ran to the house as fast as we could. (DOROTHY and YOUNG TOTO run behind the cutout of the house. They shake and rock the house as TOTO describes the storm. PUPPIES huddle together and listen intently.) Before we knew it, the walls and windows were shaking. The little house lifted up off the ground and started spinning and spinning, going higher and higher until we couldn t even see the ground anymore! Dorothy was scared, of course. Not me, though. PUPPY TWO: You weren t scared at all, Daddy? TOTO: Nope. Not one bit. (Long pause while PUPPIES give him blank, skeptical stares.) Okay, maybe I was a little scared, but after a while it wasn t so bad. The house swayed and rocked back and forth, back and forth, falling for hours and hours. The house rocked Dorothy right to sleep and she took a nap, but I stayed vigilant and kept watch. Then, suddenly, the house crashed to the ground! (SOUND EFFECT: CRASH. LIGHTS FLASH, DOROTHY sets out the witch s legs wearing silver shoes as if the house has fallen on her.) When the dust settled and I made sure Dorothy was okay, I went outside first to survey the surroundings. (YOUNG TOTO comes out from behind the house like a secret agent on a mission, with exaggerated karate moves, kicks, and rolls. NINJA MUNCHKIN ENTERS and they face off, about to engage in a battle, kung fu film style. The following lines can be played as a dubbed voiceover while YOUNG TOTO and NINJA MUNCHKIN mouth the words out of sync, or they can mock dub the words by exaggerating their mouth movements as they speak.) NINJA MUNCHKIN: Who are you, furry stranger, and how come you to this land? YOUNG TOTO: That is for me to know, ha! And you to find out. Ha ha! 2 RIGHTS MUST BE PURCHASED BEFORE REPRODUCING THIS SCRIPT
6 1 2 NINJA MUNCHKIN: Then, furry stranger, prepare to duel! (They strike a comical pose, prepared to battle, and FREEZE as PUPPY TWO speaks.) PUPPY TWO: Dad! You have to tell the story right! The Munchkins weren t ninjas, they were nice! PUPPIES: Yeah, Dad, tell it right! TOTO: You mean to tell me you don t believe your old dog is a kung fu master? PUPPIES: (Skeptical.) Dad! (NINJA MUNCHKIN and YOUNG TOTO UNFREEZE and rewind their actions, NINJA MUNCHKIN EXITS, and YOUNG TOTO comes out from behind the house again. DOROTHY also emerges from behind the house.) End of Scene One ACT ONE Scene Two CURTAIN UP: Munchkinland, which is bright and filled with colorful houses, trees, and flowers. TOTO: Okay, okay, we stepped outside. The air smelled sweet and bright, like fresh cut grass on a warm day. DOROTHY: Wow! Toto, where are we? This place is so beautiful. Look at how colorful the flowers and houses are! TOTO: I don t know what she was talking about. All I saw was gray, gray, gray, darker gray, lighter gray, and more gray. (Beat.) Smelled nice, though. (MUNCHKINS peek ON from behind houses, then hide and giggle when DOROTHY turns their way.) There were creatures all over the place who looked like small humans, but they smelled so different. Human pups are usually sticky and smell a little bit like chocolate chip cookies, dirt, a bit of skunk, and sometimes maple syrup. But these small humans just smelled like cookies. Anyway, some of the small humans came over to meet us. (MUNCHKINS curiously and carefully ENTER from behind houses and approach DOROTHY and YOUNG TOTO.) DOROTHY: Oh, my! Hello? MUNCHKIN ONE: You are welcome, most noble sorceress, to the land of the Munchkins. We are grateful to you for killing the witch and for setting our people free. MUNCHKINS: Free! Free! Free! Yay! Woohoo! DOROTHY: You are very kind, but there must be some mistake. I haven t killed anything. MUNCHKIN TWO: Your house did, anyway, and that s the same thing. See? 3
7 MUNCHKINS: See! See! See! (Points at witch s legs by house.) DOROTHY: Oh dear, oh dear! The house must have fallen on her. Whatever shall we do? MUNCHKIN THREE: There is nothing to be done. DOROTHY: But who was she? MUNCHKIN ONE: She was the Wicked Witch of the East. She held all the Munchkins captive for many years, making us slave for her night and day. Now, we are all free and grateful to you for the favor. MUNCHKINS: Free! We re free! Woohoo! Yay! GLINDA: (ENTERS. She speaks with a strong Fargo accent.) Well, just what is going on here? Are you guys having a party? Why wasn t I invited? I would ve brought some bars or something. MUNCHKINS: (Rush to GLINDA and crowd around her, talking excitedly.) Glinda! Glinda! Glinda! Guess what happened? The witch is dead! Woohoo! GLINDA: Calm down, everyone, calm down. Oofda, I haven t seen you Munchkins this excited in a very long time! DOROTHY: Excuse me, but what are Munchkins? GLINDA: They are the people who live in this land, silly! DOROTHY: Are you a Munchkin? (MUNCHKINS giggle.) GLINDA: Oh gosh, no, but I am their friend. I am Glinda, the Witch of the North. But you can just call me Glinda, for short. DOROTHY: Gracious! Are you a real witch? GLINDA: Yes, indeed. But I m a good witch. I m not as powerful as the Wicked Witch who ruled here, or I would have set the people free myself. DOROTHY: But I thought all witches were wicked. GLINDA: Oh no, that is a great mistake. There are good witches. I know this is true, for I am one of them myself and cannot be mistaken, don t ya know. My sisters in the East and the West are indeed wicked witches. (Looks at the house.) Well, one of them isn t wicked anymore, I suppose. DOROTHY: But Aunt Em told me witches were all gone, years and years ago. GLINDA: Who is Aunt Em? DOROTHY: She s my aunt. GLINDA: (Stares at DOROTHY blankly.) Uh-huh. DOROTHY: Who lives in Kansas. GLINDA: Okay. DOROTHY: Where I came from? 4
8 GLINDA: Oh, I do not know where Kansas is, for I have never heard that country mentioned before. But tell me, is it a civilized country? DOROTHY: Oh, yes. GLINDA: Then that accounts for it. In civilized countries I believe there are no witches left, nor wizards, nor sorceresses, nor magicians. But, you see, the Land of Oz has never been civilized, for we are cut off from all the rest of the world. Kinda like Canada. Therefore, we still have witches and wizards amongst us. DOROTHY: Who are the wizards? GLINDA: Who are the wizards? Aren t you following the playoffs? They re only the best hockey team in the world! (Beat.) Oh, I suppose you mean the magic kind. Well, Oz himself is the Great Wizard. He is more powerful than all the rest of us together. He lives in the City of Emeralds. MUNCHKINS: (Tug on GLINDA S dress to get her attention.) Glinda! Glinda! The shoes! The sorceress should have the shoes. Give her the shoes! GLINDA: What? (Looks and laughs.) Oh! Those shoes! I suppose that s fair. The silver shoes are yours, and you shall have them to wear. MUNCHKIN ONE: The Witch of the East was proud of those silver shoes. GLINDA: They are very special. They belonged to my mother. There s something else about them you should probably know, but I can t seem to remember what it is. Hmmm. Oh well. Take care of them, and they will take care of you. (Kisses DOROTHY on the forehead, leaving a lipstick kiss mark.) DOROTHY: These were your mother s? You should have them, Glinda. I can t take them. They re yours. Here. GLINDA: Oh, no, my dear, they are yours now. Silver isn t really my color, anyway. I wonder if they come in red. TOTO: And then, suddenly there was a new smell in the air. It was sour. It was dark. It was a musty, rotten, foul smell. It smelled like one of your Uncle Beethoven s PUPPIES: Daddy! TOTO: What? Anyway, I noticed a smell that I can only describe as evil. That s when she showed up. She was dark and dangerous looking, and she only had one eye! PUPPIES: One eye? TOTO: One eye. (WICKED WITCH ENTERS, wearing all black with an eye patch over one eye. She should appear fierce and dangerous, more of a modern witch and less of the stereotypical wicked witch. She should not have green skin, but green elements should be used in her makeup and costume.)
9 WICKED WITCH: (Grabs the shoes.) I ll take those, thank you very much. GLINDA: Oh, no you don t! Those are hers now. She earned them! WICKED WITCH: Earned them? By killing our sister, she earned them? I know you don t have a very big brain, little sister, but you should know better than to get in my way. Now step aside. TOTO: Being the heroic dog that I was, I bravely fended off the evil witch. (YOUNG TOTO rushes forward, barking and growling at WICKED WITCH.) WICKED WITCH: (Backs away, terrified.) Nooo! Get it away, get it away! Call your fearsome, monstrous beast back! Don t let it kill me, please! PUPPIES: (Whine.) Dad! Tell it right! TOTO: Okay, okay. I was scared, but I still stood up to her (Beat.) sort of. (YOUNG TOTO timidly barks and growls at WICKED WITCH.) WICKED WITCH: (Not nearly so intimidated now, just mildly annoyed.) Little girl, allow me to introduce myself. I am the Witch of the West, the most powerful witch in the land. Those shoes belonged to my mother. Now, why don t you be a good girl and give them to me? They can t possibly be useful to you. Let me have them or I will take them myself. GLINDA: (To DOROTHY.) Don t be afraid. I gave you my kiss, and no one can injure a person kissed by the Witch of the North. (Turns to WICKED WITCH.) Now you, you just go back to the west. Our sister was wicked and cruel. I m sorry she s gone, but the Munchkins deserve to be free! WICKED WITCH: Mm-hmm! Stay out of this, sister. If you must be so involved in my business perhaps you d like to join my slaves, hmm? You know, I ve always wanted a pink monkey. GLINDA: Maybe I can t fight you myself, but you re alone now and I m not. Don t make me call the Wizard! WICKED WITCH: Fine! (To DOROTHY.) Better watch your step, little one, for I will certainly be keeping my eye on you. (EXITS.) GLINDA: Oofda, if she weren t my sister, I d go after her with a hockey stick, don t ya know. DOROTHY: Oh dear, oh dear. I am so anxious to get back to my aunt and uncle. I m sure they ll worry about me. Can you help me find my way back to Kansas? Please, can you help me find my way home? (Looks at GLINDA and MUNCHKINS, pleading. They sadly shake their heads. DOROTHY starts to cry. Seeing this, MUNCHKINS cry, too.) GLINDA: What is your name, my dear? 6 RIGHTS MUST BE PURCHASED BEFORE REPRODUCING THIS SCRIPT
10 DOROTHY: (Through tears.) Dorothy. Dorothy Gale. GLINDA: Dorothy Dorothy Gale? That s a strange one. Well, Dorothy Dorothy Gale, I m afraid there s not much more I can do for you. I don t have much power here. I m too far from my home, and I don t know where to find this Kansas of yours. You must go to the City of Emeralds. Perhaps Oz will help you. DOROTHY: Where is this city? GLINDA: It is exactly in the center of the country and is ruled by Oz, the great wizard I told you of. DOROTHY: Is he a good man? GLINDA: He is a good wizard. Whether he is a man or not I cannot tell, for I have never seen him. DOROTHY: How can I get there? GLINDA: You must walk. It is a long journey, through a country that is sometimes pleasant and sometimes dark and terrible. It will be even more dangerous now that my sister is after you. However, I will use all the magic arts I know of to keep you from harm. DOROTHY: Won t you go with me? GLINDA: No, I cannot do that. The Wizards have a big game against the Maple Leafs tomorrow! I m sorry, Dorothy Dorothy Gale. When you get to Oz, tell your story and ask him to help you. Goodbye, my dear. (EXITS. YOUNG TOTO is now brave again and barks at where she had been. MUNCHKINS surround DOROTHY and YOUNG TOTO, looking at him curiously.) MUNCHKIN TWO: What is that monster you brought with you? DOROTHY: Monster? You mean Toto? Oh, he s not a monster. MUNCHKINS: Oooh! What s a Toto? Yeah! What s a Toto? DOROTHY: Well, he s a dog. MUNCHKINS: A dog? DOROTHY: Don t you have dogs here? MUNCHKINS: No! DOROTHY: That s very sad. I don t know what I d do without Toto. He s my best friend in the world. (YOUNG TOTO rolls on his back and kicks his feet while DOROTHY rubs his belly and scratches his ears.) And now that we ve landed in this strange place, I m afraid he s my only friend. How far is it to the Emerald City? MUNCHKIN ONE: I don t know. I ve never been there. MUNCHKIN TWO: I ve heard it s pretty far away. DOROTHY: Well, I better be on my way then, shouldn t I? (Starts to leave, with purpose. Circles MUNCHKINS, realizing she doesn t know where to go.) Um, which way is the Emerald City? 7
11 MUNCHKIN THREE: Oh, that s easy. MUNCHKIN ONE: The road to the Emerald City is paved with yellow bricks. MUNCHKINS: You can t miss it. DOROTHY: Thank you! Well, goodbye! (EXITS down the aisle and through the AUDIENCE with YOUNG TOTO, waving goodbye to MUNCHKINS.) MUNCHKINS: Goodbye, Dorothy Dorothy Gale! Good luck! Thank you! (CURTAIN CLOSES. As TOTO speaks his next line, DOROTHY and YOUNG TOTO make their way back up the aisle to DOWN LEFT and come upon SCARECROW DOWN LEFT in front of the curtain. He is standing as if placed on a pole.) TOTO: We followed that road for hours. It meandered through farms and villages of all sorts. Eventually, we came to a field of corn and found a big chew toy that Dorothy seemed to like. He smelled like the hay on our farm back home in Kansas. DOROTHY: (As they pass him, DOROTHY pauses to look closer.) Toto, look! (SCARECROW winks at DOROTHY. To SCARECROW.) Did you just? Wow, what a great scarecrow. He looks so real. SCARECROW: I should hope so! DOROTHY: Did you speak?! SCARECROW: Certainly. How do you do? DOROTHY: I m well, thank you. How do you do? SCARECROW: I m not feeling well at all. It s pretty boring being perched up here night and day to scare away crows, especially when I m not any good at it. DOROTHY: Can t you get down? SCARECROW: Nope. In case you didn t notice, I ve got this great big pole stuck up my back. Do you think you could maybe, oh, I don t know, help me down? (DOROTHY helps SCARECROW down. He stretches, yawns, and walks around in a ridiculous manner, as if he doesn t understand how all his joints work.) SCARECROW: Thank you very much. I feel like a new man. Who are you? And where are you going? DOROTHY: My name is Dorothy, and I m going to the Emerald City to ask the Great Oz to send me back to Kansas. SCARECROW: Where is the Emerald City? And who is Oz? DOROTHY: Why, don t you know? SCARECROW: Nope! I don t know anything. I m stuffed with straw, so I have no brains at all. DOROTHY: Oh, I m awfully sorry for you. SCARECROW: Do you think if I go to the Emerald City with you that Oz would give me some brains? 8
12 1 2 DOROTHY: I don t know, but you can come with me if you like. If Oz won t give you any brains, you won t be any worse off than you are now. SCARECROW: That s true. But I don t want people to call me a fool, and if my head stays stuffed with straw instead of brains, how am I ever to know or do anything? (Beat.) Well, other than be a politician, I guess. I heard some people do that job for years with no brains at all! DOROTHY: If you come with me, I ll ask Oz to do all he can for you. SCARECROW: Thank you! (YOUNG TOTO doesn t like SCARECROW and sniffs, barks, and growls at him.) DOROTHY: Don t mind Toto. He never bites. (YOUNG TOTO bites SCARECROW S pant leg and chews on it.) SCARECROW: Oh, I m not afraid. He can t hurt the straw. I ll tell you a secret. There is only one thing in the world I am afraid of. DOROTHY: What s that? The farmer who made you? SCARECROW: No, it s a lighted match (Beat.) and candles, and bonfires, and, well, pretty much anything and everything on fire! And Elvis. Whooo! He s a hunk-a hunk-a burnin love. (Strikes an Elvis pose.) Thank you, thank you very much. DOROTHY: I see. SCARECROW: (Back as himself.) So tell me about this land you come from. DOROTHY: Well, I m from a place called Kansas. I live on a farm with my Aunt Em and my Uncle Henry (They EXIT as DOROTHY describes Kansas.) TOTO: We continued along the yellow brick road with our new friend, the big chew toy. He asked so many questions about Kansas. I guess a guy with a whole lot of nothing in his head was really intrigued by the idea of a whole lot of nothing in Kansas. Soon, we left the farmland behind and came upon a dark forest. End of Scene Two ACT ONE Scene Three CURTAIN UP: A dark forest. In one corner, the TIN WOODSMAN is rusted in place with his axe in the air. His oil can is nearby, just out of his reach. SCARECROW, DOROTHY, and YOUNG TOTO ENTER, but don t notice him. SCARECROW: Wow, and I thought I was the one without brains. Why would you ever want to leave this beautiful land and go back to that dry, ugly place you call Kansas? 9
13 DOROTHY: Well, after all, there is no place like home. SCARECROW: I guess if your people had heads stuffed with straw, like mine, you would probably all live in beautiful places, too, and then Kansas would have no people at all. It is fortunate for Kansas that you have brains. (Sighs and sits on the tree stump.) I wish I had brains. I don t really know anything at all. I was only made the day before yesterday. The farmer carried me to the field and set me up where you found me. Then he just walked away. I tried to run after him, but I was stuck. It s a good thing you came along, Dorothy. (YOUNG TOTO barks.) Oh, and you too, Toto! (He and DOROTHY have a silent conversation and slowly move through the forest while TOTO speaks.) TOTO: (To PUPPIES.) Chew Toy was decent enough. Kinda goofy lookin and a big chatterbox. He had questions about everything. Eventually I got tired of all the talking, and I ran up ahead to take care of some business. That s when I met (Beat.) the Shiny Guy. (YOUNG TOTO lifts his leg as if to pee on TIN WOODSMAN.) TIN WOODSMAN: (Almost inaudible, his mouth is rusted shut.) Oil can! DOROTHY: What was that? SCARECROW: I don t know. TIN WOODSMAN: Oil can! DOROTHY: (Rushes over to TIN WOODSMAN.) Look! It s a man made out of tin! Did you speak? TIN WOODSMAN: Oil can! DOROTHY: What can I do for you? TIN WOODSMAN: OIL CAN! DOROTHY: Oil can! (Finds the oil can and oils TIN WOODSMAN S mouth.) TIN WOODSMAN: Oil my neck! Oil my neck! (DOROTHY and SCARECROW oil TIN WOODSMAN S neck and move his head from side to side until he can do it himself.) Now, oil the joints in my arms. (DOROTHY oils his arms. TIN WOODSMAN sighs, lowering his axe. DOROTHY and SCARECROW shake his arms to loosen the rust.) I have been holding that axe ever since I rusted. (Tries to step but falls forward.) Legs, too, please, if you don t mind? (DOROTHY oils TIN WOODSMAN S legs. He begins to stretch, loosening up his rusted joints.) You saved my life. How did you happen to find me? DOROTHY: We re on our way to the Emerald City to see the Great Oz. TIN WOODSMAN: Why do you wish to see Oz? DOROTHY: I want him to send me back to Kansas, and the Scarecrow wants him to put a few brains into his head. TIN WOODSMAN: Do you suppose Oz could give me a heart?
