\"sears_SM\"<\/a>“Bobby Lucelee: A Very Silly Play for Kids” is available in PDF format here<\/a> from author, playwright, and cartoonist<\/a> Jonathan Caws-Elwitt<\/a>. It calls for six actors and is, indeed, quite silly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sample dialog:<\/p>\n

BARRY: Who’s Bobby Lucelee?<\/strong><\/p>\n

LIBRARIAN A-M: Well, duh, that’s what we’re all trying to find out!<\/strong><\/p>\n

LIBRARIAN N-Z: Psst . . . librarians aren’t supposed to say “duh”.<\/strong>
\n(Librarian A-M shushes Librarian N-Z.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

LIBRARIAN N-Z (To the audience): Who can think of some ways to find out who Bobby Lucelee is?<\/strong>
\n(Ad lib as audience members make suggestions.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

BARRY (To Librarians): Where are the books on stamp collecting? I need to get started on my homework.<\/strong><\/p>\n

CHRIS: Stamp collecting? I thought the assignment was on Italian cooking.<\/strong><\/p>\n

LIBRARIAN A-M: I thought it was on Bobby Lucelee.<\/strong><\/p>\n

TERRY, CHRIS, BARRY: Shh!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks, Jonathan Caws-Elwitt, and I hope anyone who performs the play will send a video to Library Shenanigans!<\/p>\n

(p.s., I know the cartoon illustration has nothing to do with libraries or the play, but I loved it so much I couldn’t resist using it.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
