While the tlewisdsn VOLUME XLVI NO. T 12 The Tin Man in Dixie State University's "Wizard of Oz" play adds another dimension to his character by embodying what it looks and sounds like to be made of tin. Community member Jacob Parkinson, who stars as the Tin Man, brings a refreshing take to this character by incorporating robotic dance moves and altering his body language completely. Rather than walk like the rest of the characters on stage, he trudges behind as if his legs and arms were truly made of tin. No matter what physical activity he endured, Parkinson's mechanical-like mannerisms stayed true to the Tin Man's nature for the duration of the show. Aside from constantly relying 1 Ir I I HOICEOFDIXIE IDIXIESUNNEWS.COM all Ex11111 WHAT'S INSIDE aome News urn 1 3 Dpinion 4 3ports play used the "Wizard of Oz" film script, there were minute changes in the original dialogue that added to the character's witty banter as a trio. In one instance, the Scarecrow is ripped apart by the flying monkeys, and when the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion find him in pieces, their first response is, "It is time to pull yourself together Scarecrow!" Now if you find yourself cringing at punny jokes, this may not be the play for you because this comedic approach is sprinkled throughout the play and most notably during the tree's presence on stage. The moment Dorothy tries pulling an apple off a branch, the trees break the silence in the air.
