Your audience will love the interactive nature of this storyteller play, designed specifically with young actors, their funny bones, and your budget in mind! When the audience shows up to a rehearsal unexpectedly, the cast of ’The Bremen Town Musicians’ decides the show must go on even though opening night is a week away! Actors scramble for found objects to serve as props and costume pieces while others worry about not knowing their lines. Luckily, since the characters aren’t really musicians, the only music involved is a simple rhyme with stomping and clapping, and it doesn’t even have to be sung well! The know-it-all squirrel narrator, Squire, bosses the others around while the vain bird Flinch gets his feathers — er, feather — ruffled when he keeps barging onstage demanding a part in the show! The set and costumes are slowly ’built’ before our eyes as the play progresses. The show gets on the road, but not without comedic speed bumps along the way! The interruptions, squabbles and oversized egos don’t slow them down, they only make for more laughs! With a little creativity and teamwork, the acting troupe pulls off the heartwarming story of four woebegone animals who find friendship, foil a gang of robbers, and live happily ever after... and all with the simplest sets, props and costumes they can find!
