The plays: 'The Man Who Loved to Laugh', 'Mr. Hare Takes Mr. Leopard for a Ride', 'Ananse's Trick Does Double Work' and 'The Turtle Who Wanted to Fly'. From the man who loved laughing, to the antic tricks of Ananse and Mr. Hare, to the dreams and wishes of a musical turtle, these plays fill a need for humorous, meaty, dramatic material for children. They are a pleasure to read and ideal for sharing and acting with friends. They can also be a stimulus to your own improvisations. The ideas for acting, dance, costumes and music are informative and helpful, suggesting ways to make working with these scripts a truly creative process. Carol Korty has been involved with children's theatre as a performer, director, playwright and teacher, and her experience and enthusiasm are reflected in this rich, entertaining collection.
