THE STORY: Koong-Se is the daughter of a wealthy Chinese mandarin. He wants her

to take a rich husband, but she has no interest in money. Instead, she falls in love with

Chang, a mere gardener. A wistful song “In a Garden in China” is performed as the

lovers m

eet in the scented m

oonlit garden. The outraged m

andarin banishes Chang

and confines his daughter. Guards oversee her and (optionally) give a martial arts

display then taunt her with the song “Checking up on You”. A m

yriad of garden

spirits visit her, perform a gentle dance routine and sing ”All Her Lifetime.” The

mandarin arranges her wedding, but the lovers elope. They are hunted down, and

trapped in pagoda which is set on fire. The lovers perish, but the garden spirits emerge

to m

usic and turn them into immortal white birds. The play ends with a

bouncy song “The Selfish Mandarin” which recaps the story and

features a fiery dance. An unusual and attractive short musical.

Cast: Narrators, Mandarin, Koong-Se, Chang ,4 guards, 4 Rich Men, Warrior,

Garden Spirits, Flames, Assorted Servants and Guests

SYNOPSIS Unlike the “wild people” of

the valley, Noah and his family are hard-

working, honourable people, "So many

jobs" is a cheerful action song depicting

their daily chores. God is angry with the

"wild people" for spoiling the will send a

big flood. Noah must build an ark to

preserve all the animals and mankind.

The sceptical “wild people” attempt to

destroy the ark, but finally the ark is

ready. Summoned by God, the animals

board the boat , and the storm

starts.

When food is running low and there is a

wistful song "Will it All Be for Nothing?"

Noah sends the raven and the dove to

seek dry land. The raven fails, but the

dove brings back an olive twig,

signifying dry land nearby. God sends a

lovely rainbow over the world, and the

play ends in celebratory mood with a

rocky song - "Well done Mr Noah".

Comedy Play for Children. Very suitable for schools/

clubs without a music specialist– the children can use

the “backing tracks” to perform

the songs karaoke style.

It needs at least 20 players to make it viable, although doubling up of roles

can reduce cast numbers. Traditional Christm

as songs can also be included

in the show.

ZAK and THE SAUSAGES- THE STORY

Steven and Mirabelle belong to a

selfish family who think Christm

as

is too much bother. They fight,

argue, squabble and bully other

children, until one night…

….A

magic talking cat called Zak comes

into their lives. Zak has run away

from Gertrude the evil witch! Zak

can make wishes come true– if you

wish for something accidentally

that is. He brings a wealth of good

luck to everyone he encounters,

with hilarious results. Zak is

allergic to a certain food –

sausages! Sausages make him go

berserk! Zak’s magic powers

eventually enable the selfish family

to appreciate the true value of

Christmas. It is a very funny script and

the songs are bouncy, modern and simple

to learn.

A very simple poignant script telling the traditional Nativity story.

For KS1, KS2 and special needs. Very popular, sold worldwide,

especially to the UK and USA. There are eight modern original

songs, as listed below. Schools sometimes add their own selection

of other traditional carols to produce a longer concert. Otherwise,

the production is about 40 minutes in length. Last time I staged it

in my own school it was perform

ed by 85 children including choir,

but it can be perform

ed by a group as small as 15.

The package contains script, CD, and very basic sheet

music (melody line with chords) The CD contains two

copies of each song, one with vocals for rehearsing,

one "backing track" for perform

ance. Therefore no

musical ability is needed to stage this play.

agic frog gives them

their

wish. But the jealous bad fairy puts a spell on the baby princess. On her 16th birthday she stabs her

finger on a spinning wheel. The good fairies can only soften the spell so that she does not die but sleeps

for 100 years instead, or until a Prince breaks the spell with a kiss. A prince is found but he absconds

when attacked by the wicked fairy’s bodyguard. Happily, the magic frog is at hand to give the tale a

happy ending. Very funny script with lots of narration to reduce the need for prompting. Has parts for

reticent children/EAL/ Special Needs. Scope for dance and m

ovem

ent. Great parts for both boys and

girls.

A Not-so-English Breakfast £12.95

Dad has been grumbling that he wants a full English

breakfast- he says he will never eat any “foreign food.” But a

full English breakfast actually consists almost entirely of

foods from other countries- cornflakes, bacon, tea, coffee,

marm

alade etc. Children in the audience are delighted as the various dishes

are whisked away from him! (More so if a teacher plays the part of Dad)

The play comes with a CD containing 2 songs - with vocals for rehearsals and

without vocals for a karaoke-style performance. A simple melody-line score is also

provided on the CD in case you wish to use a pianist or guitarist instead.

NB- This script is also on the dual format CD so you can customize it if you wish!

Songs: “I had a sausage” (A very silly song- children love it)

“We Give thanks” (A jolly thanksgiving song with rap-style verses)

loses track of them during the hunting season. A gypsy shows

kindness to him, and he is then taken in by a farm

er and his family.

Their cat, dog and hen are jealous and bully him so he runs away

again. At last he matures into a beautiful swan, finds his self-esteem

and flies to freedom. No musical ability needed- just sing and dance

PowerPoint Presentation, Piano Score, and 20 worksheets. Written as
