I’m working on my final summer post, but
I thought I’d share my script for the last show. At one week camps I spend a good part of Tuesday night
writing the script. The kids come
up with the basic story, and sometimes the entire story, and I make it into a
show. I pay attention to which
kids have more lines, I make sure everyone has 2-6 lines that they’ll be able
to memorize in two days. Sometimes
they’re based on stories, like Grease, and sometimes they’re totally original,
like this one.
In case you’re confused by the song in
the middle, we sing a camp song with the same melody about a Ford Escort, a
Mini, and a Ferrari. I found this
random video of it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sic2YRLEBqw
One of my co-tutors the week
before changed the words for her Sherlock Holmes show, and I stole it.
