Winter Term: Drama, Week 4

Group 4 wrote this very brief, but very focused and professional little play. They had the entirely thing blocked and rehearsed by Wednesday, did a public dress rehearsal Thursday, and a performance with a requested encore on Friday.
 
DRAGONS TO MARS

    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….”
    The Purple-Puff-Smoking Dragon says “Mmmmssgrrgjmmm” because it is breathing fire and letters are coming out of its smoky mouth.
    The Witch Dragon flies to planet Mars- the other dragon follows him there. She gets indian food on the way, and does not like it. She likes salter and pepper, though.
    The Witch Dragon hides.
    The End.
