Drama: Winter Term, Week 4

DRAGONS TO MARS

TIME: The present
PLACE: Austin, Texas

All the dragons go into the haunted house. They make spooky noises. They come to the door, throw their claws up high, and then they jump- all at the same time!

Plaque Fighting Man comes and says "Your teeth are dirty, and I'm going to clean them!" All the dragons run out of the house and jump. Then they roll their eyes.

Plaque Fighting Man holds up his hammer and says "You'll get cavities if I don't brush your teeth!"
The Witch Dragon says "Well, I already brush my teeth, so you don't need to clean them."

The Purple Puff Smoking Dragon says "mmmmhHhFFFMmm" because he is breathing fire, and letters are coming out of his smoky mouth.

The Witch Dragon flies to the planet Mars. The other dragons follow him there. One of the dragons get indian food on the way, and does not like it. She likes salt & pepper, though.

The Witch Dragon hides.

     This week our group showed a strong progression from the previous term. Right away at the beginning of the week, the children were excited to create a "real" play. We had our characters chosen and a basic plot outline by Tuesday. By Wednesday, the story had been fine tuned and everyone was delighted with their parts. Costumes were meticulously recreated each day of the week, and because of the brevity of the story we completed a whopping 15 private run-throughs and 5 performances for audiences!
