Performances > Who Am I? | Ketchup, Riddles, and Wacky Monkeys | It's Fun to Write
In the Children’s Voices Theatre production
It’s Fun to Write, Michael Zerphy and Marv Klassen-Landis
present poems and stories written by elementary school students.
Throughout the performance, they weave together themes of trusting
one’s inner voice, overcoming fear, and getting started when
students say, “I don’t know what to write.” K-6
audiences double over laughing during “Wacky Monkeys”
and during “The Dentist,” a hilarious sketch reminiscent
of the golden age of silent movies. “Tiger” moves through
emotions of awe, fear, and empowerment. Combining rhyme, mime, and
a magical machine that always backfires, “I Made a Machine”
evokes cheers and laughter. Poems such as “Shy” and
“Moose Calf” explore emotions and nature. The performance
includes acting, mime, physical comedy, and audience participation.
The It’s Fun to Write study guide leads teachers
and students through follow-up discussion, writing, and theatre
activities. Other Children’s Voices Theatre performances include Who Am I? and Ketchup, Riddles, and Wacky Monkeys.
