Children's Plays
Here you'll find 4 Children's plays. All of which are comedy based with fun story-lines and most importantly LOTS of parts to give out so everyone gets an opportunity to shine!
They are designed to take your End of Year/Term performance away from the 'Variety Show' formula and give your students the opportunity to perform everything they've learned in acting, singing and dancing throughout the term in a Broadway style environment!
Every age is catered for and with the addition of the songs and dances you have worked on all year, these scripts are propelled into fully fledged musical productions that your audience will love!
Alternatively, they can be performed as is and on a much smaller scale or even just in class - It's up to you! What is guaranteed is that they, and you, will have a blast rehearsing and performing them!
