Well, we managed to get the entire job of filming the "Commercial" finished in one day! Great job everyone, and many thanks to my assistants!!
This week at Club PLAY, we'll be watching the video as well as practicing our parts a little more, because......
We've been asked if the kids in "The Queen Loves Coffee" will perform it LIVE on Sunday, March 3rd at the Soup Kitchen Celebration lunch, right after second service.
Please let me know, parents of "Coffee" actors, if your kids are available that day to perform!
Thank you!
All the members of Club PLAY are welcome to attend this Sunday, Feb. 24th, even if they weren't in the coffee commercial. We'll have (healthy) snacks and watch the commercial video, and then we'll do some fun IMPROV as well as practice a bit with the "Coffee" script.
Thanks again! Everyone has been doing a great job! Let's keep gearing up for the Beauty IS a Beast auditions! (March 17th)
Signing out,
Tia

Easter Skit Sunday!
Hello everyone! Pastor Eric has asked if the kids in Club PLAY will do a short skit on Easter Sunday, at the beginning of both services. The skit calls for five (5) parts, and we have about a month to go, so we need to get the parts filled! If you/your kids are wanting a part in this skit, PLEASE let me know ASAP. Pastor is counting on us! : )
Here is the script for you all, ahead of time so you get the idea. It's about retired famous rabbits (re-named slightly) - Bugs (Plugs) Bunny, N.R. Jizer, "Codger" Rabbit, Trixie, and the Easter Bunny. The point of the skit is the true meaning of Easter.
Okay, here is the script! Again, please let me know as soon as possible who wants a part, as we will begin practicing on 10th, but since I've included the script here, as soon as I know who wants to be in it, I will assign parts so the kids will be able to start memorizing at home before we all get together.
Thank you for your help!
The Old Rabbit’s Home
N.R. Jizer: Well, just look at that sunset! Too bad my eyes aren’t what they used to be! This reminds me of when I used to march right down the highway into the sunset. I would just keep going and going and going…..
Trixie: Oh, don’t start that again! It is a nice sunset though. It makes me think of a bowl of cereal. Raspberry red, lemon yellow, orangey orange…. Ah, but that cereal is for kids, right, Plugs?
Plugs: Eh? What’s that, doc?
Trixie: I said, ISN’T THAT RIGHT?
Plugs: Bright? Yeah, it’s bright. Brightest sunset I’ve seen today!
Codger: It’s the ONLY sunset you’ve seen today! I don’t know why I hang around with you old gray hares. I’m a MOVIE STAR! Or at least I was until I was framed. I was FRAMED, I tell you! FRAMED!!
Trixie and N.R. are exasperated. Bunny enters.
Bunny: Hello! Mind if I join you?
N.R. : No problem. Are you new here?
Bunny: Yep, just retired.
N.R. : Then welcome to the Old Rabbit’s Home. I’m N.R. Jizer, this is Trixie, Plugs and Codger. He used to be a movie star, you know.
Codger: Until I was framed. FRAMED, I tell you!
N.R. : What’s your name, stranger?
Bunny: Just call me Bunny.

Plugs: Funny? What kind of name is that?
Bunny: Bunny! Just call me Bunny!
Plugs: Eh? What’s that, doc?
N.R. Nevermind. Look at that sunset! I reminds me of the time I marched around the world beating my drum. I went through hurricanes and mudslides,
under water and over Mount Everest! Right into the sunset! Nothing could stop me! I just kept going and going and going…..
Trixie: And you’re STILL going on and on about all the unbelievable things you’ve done. Well, I can top that! I remember the time all those kids wouldn’t let me have any of their cereal. Ah, that cereal. Blueberry blue, grape purple, watermelon pink…..
N.R. Get to the point, will you?
Trixie: They wouldn’t even let me have a TASTE! So I stuffed them into a van and drove to the cereal factory and dumped them into the giant vats of food coloring! THAT ought taught them a lesson, I’ll tell you!
N.R. : That’s quite a story, but I’ll bet Plugs can beat it. Right, Plugs?
Plugs: Eat what? Not that cereal, I hope! It’s for kids!
N.R. Never mind.
Codger: Well, I say that MY story is the unbelievable one.
Trixie: What is your story?
Codger: (pauses dramatically) I was FRAMED!
N.R., Trixie, and Plugs: WE KNOW!
N.R.: How about you, newcomer? What’s the most unbelievable thing you’ve ever done?
Bunny: Well….. I guess that would be….. Easter.
Trixie: Easter? What about it?
Bunny: Well, I managed to convince everyone that Easter was really about candy,chocolate rabbits and colored eggs.
Plugs: What?
N.R. No way!
Trixie: Colored eggs?!?
Codger: That’s the most ridiculous thing I ever heard!
N.R.: Who would fall for a story that Easter is about candy and colored eggs?
Bunny: You’d be surprised.
Trixie: And I suppose you got everybody to forget about the REAL meaning of Easter? About Jesus—that he came to pay for the sins of the whole world?
Codger: And that he died, and was raised back to life again?
N.R.: And he keeps going and going and going……
Codger whacks him to make him stop.
Bunny: That’s right, I did make them forget. That’s why I retired. I want people to remember the real meaning of Easter.
Plugs: Colored eggs, my foot! What’s up with that, doc?
N.R. Well, it’s time to get inside for dinner. Probably mashed carrots AGAIN!
N.R., Codger and Plugs exit.
Trixie: Say, Bunny, these colored eggs—were they raspberry red?
Bunny: Yep.
Trixie: Lemon yellow?
Bunny: Yep.
Trixie: Orangey Orange?
Bunny: You got it.
Trixie: Ooooohhhhh……
Trixie exits.
Bunny: Gets ‘em every time!
Bunny exits.
The end.

The Queen Loves Coffee Script
Oh, and just in case you don't have the script at home, the kids don't need to have their lines completely memorized, but they do need to be familiar with them.
Thank you!!!!
The Queen Loves COFFEE ~ a commercial Written by Lauren Shepard, edited by Tia Austin
Queen: Joe! I am thirsty. Bring me something to drink.
Joe: Yes, your majesty. Here is some Lemonade.
Queen: (drinks) Ugh! This is a foul monster! Too sour!
Joe: Forgive me, your majesty. Have some water.
Queen: (drinks) Hmm…. Let’s see…. Uh… Lifeless!!
Joe: Why don’t you try this tea, then?
Queen: (drinks) Bleh!! Nasty! Joe, you’re fired!!
Joe leaves sadly.
Butler: Oh, come now, your majesty. Please make up your mind. Water, Tea, and Lemonade are all favorites, and firing people is NOT the answer.
Queen: Oh, come on! Joe didn’t even like his job!
Butler: Joe…. Hmmmm….I have an idea. What about COFFEE?
Queen: Coffee? Why not? (I’ve got lots of other servants to buy me Windex.)
Butler gives the Queen his arm and they walk over to the coffee stand
Employee: What would you like to drink, your majesty?
Queen: Ummm…. An Iced Mocha, please.
Employee: Of course. Here you are.
Queen: (drinks) Splendid! And with the caffeine in this coffee, I’ll have so much energy, I’ll be able to stay up half the night! Butler, you’ll be working the grave yard shift soon!
Butler: NOOOOOO!!!
Butler runs away and Queen and Employee hold up sign for Holy Grounds Coffee Bar
“Her Majesty’s choice”
Making it Happen!
Hello everyone ~ I'm sorry we couldn't work on The Queen Loves Coffee last Sunday, as I was under the weather. I will be there this Sunday, so I'm definitely planning on the kids being able to get a lot done on the "commercial" this week! I'm hoping we'll get it about 80% finished so we can just do little "touch-ups" next Sunday, the 24th.
That said, we are also going to be doing an Easter Skit. It's short, about 5 minutes long. There are five parts in the skit, which we will be performing at the beginning of both services on Easter Sunday, with the possibility of doing another performance on a Thursday night at the soup kitchen, between 5:30 and 6:30 pm. If all of the actors are available to do that. The kids would be "famous rabbits", and the message of this humorous skit is the true meaning of Easter.
So, we'll be having rehearsals for the skit on March 3rd, 10th, and 24th, and performing it on the 31st. (The soup kitchen performance will be either the 21st or the 28th)
We're not having rehearsals on the 17th because of auditions for Beauty is a Beast.
Please let me know if any of your kids would like to participate in the Easter Skit! Thank you!
