Silly Soup: Ten Zany Plays With Songs and Ideas for Making Them Your Own

A collection of wonderful, short, zany plays from which children can pick and choose to perform, for their own fun or for a presentation to an audience. Complete with five songs and a wealth of information about theatre terms, creating comic characters, and improvising, as well as production notes on scenery, props and costumes. This book gives children the tools and insight they need to play comic scenes with delightful zest. These plays are based on the 'noodlehead' tales which are embodied in numerous folktales, especially Eastern European Yiddish and medieval English. Carol Korty says: Try seeing the world from one narrow perspective, with one fixed idea. What have you got? Your noodlehead self...silly, wacky and ridiculous. The plays have been performed by adults and children, at numerous theatres, and loved by performers and audience.
