Great Parts for Young Kids!

Lakefront Youth Theatre Experience, New Orleans

"Wizard of Oz was fantastic!!  Having the entire package all together was so helpful and made our new drama club's first performance so much easier.  The kids are already asking what we are going to perform next year!  I can't imagine using any other company.  Our Dorothy even memorized all her lines.  She's 12!!!"
Matt Limback, West Nodaway School, Burlington Junction, MO


THE WIZARD OF OZ
SCRIPT SAMPLE

The story is just as you remember it...
The only difference? Every child has a part!
(Script pages 8-10)

DOROTHY: Oh, Toto, I wish I could go some where over that rainbow. I just know there’s more to the world than this. And I want to see it so very badly!

BLUE: Little did Dorothy know that her life was just about to change.

(ALL performers and CHORUS seated to the sides of the action take a big breath and blow in DOROTHY’s direction. DOROTHY and TOTO, twirl as if they have been caught in a big wind.)

DOROTHY & TOTO: Whooooaaaaaaahhhh!!!!!!

(SOUND CUE #2. Storm... House flying... Crash!

CHORUS begins making storm sounds. They give the cymbal a roll and crashes, chimes tinkle, kazoos sound like sirens, bongos bong etc.)

RED: Suddenly there was a terrible storm!

(ALL performers make clapping sounds for the rain, also tap the chair or floor to make the sound of raindrops.)

YELLOW: In the distance, Dorothy could see a funny looking cloud...

DOROTHY: Oh, no! It’s a cyclone!

(AUNTIE EM and UNCLE HENRY enter, twirling and holding onto their hats, acting as if they are straining against the wind. TOTO runs and hides behind someone in the audience. NOTE: A lightweight cloth can be used here to indicate wind. CHORUS members can billow it around to give a storm effect.)

AUNTIE EM: Dorothy!

UNCLE HENRY: Dorothy, come away!

AUNTIE EM: We’re all going down in the storm shelter.

UNCLE HENRY: Hurry, Dorothy! Or you’ll be swept away!

DOROTHY: Yes, of course! Let’s go Toto! (She looks, can’t find him.) Toto?

RED: But Toto was so scared of cyclones that he ran in the house and hid under the bed.

DOROTHY: Toto, come back!

AUNTIE EM: Let him go, Dorothy!

UNCLE HENRY: Hurry up, Dorothy!

(Uncle and Auntie exit.)

DOROTHY: But I can’t leave Toto!

(ALL performers blow again which sends AUNTIE EM, UNCLE HENRY and DOROTHY twirling again.)

Toto! Come out from under that bed! This is no time for hide and seek!

(TOTO whimpers and ventures out, looking sheepish.) 

There you are you silly dog. Now follow me, we’ve got to get out of here...

BLUE: But it was too late!

(Members of CHORUS stand and circle DOROTHY and TOTO, holding hands and catching her in their circle. Their "circle" turns around them and catches her and TOTO as they bob inside it.)

PURPLE: The house began to shiver...

GREEN: The house began to shake...

RED: Suddenly the cyclone ripped the house right off the ground!

(CHORUS break away from the circle and twirl away, act as if they are floating and flying. DOROTHY and TOTO crouch in the middle of the floor and watch as CHORUS members "fly" by.)

YELLOW: And Dorothy and Toto looked out the window to see...

ORANGE: They were flying in the sky!

DOROTHY: Oh, Toto, hold on to me!

TOTO: (Barks in agreement.) Ruff! Ruff!

BLUE: ("Floating" by.) They saw houses...

YELLOW: ("Floating.") And trees...

RED: ("Floating", riding bike.) And bicycles...

GREEN: ("Floating" as cow.) And even cows! Moo?

BLUE: Flying by!

PURPLE: Suddenly...

ALL/CHORUS: KER-PLUNK!!!!!

("Floaters" drop to the ground. CHORUS makes crashing sound. DOROTHY and TOTO cover their heads. ALL "floaters" except for RED return to their places. RED remains on stage, flat on her back, wearing red shoes. )
