Skit Night was a lot of fun. Joel was a good sport and played a couple vital roles (even though he didn't want to). I especially thought he did the part of a "jerk" well. Here's the script for that skit. This skit was performed by the younger cousins.

The Lawnmower

( Lisa is on her hands and knees as the mower.)
Owner (Brandon) :
(Yanking imaginary rope, while mower sputters) This darned old mower, I can't get it going. I need some help. (Gets help from another participant.)
Kimberly:
So you just want me to yank on this rope, and get it started ? That's easy ! (Yanking rope)
Mower :
(Splutters, bobs up and down)
Kimberly:
I'm sorry. I can't seem to do it. Have you checked the gas ?
Owner (Brandon):
Yes, I have. Thanks anyway. Well, let's see who else has a strong arm. (Selects another participant) What I need you to do is to give a real good yank on the starting rope and make it run.
Nicole:
Sure thing. (Yanks rope a couple of times.)
Mower :
(Bobs up and down, sputters, coughs)
Nicole:
Sorry, I can't do it either.
Owner (Brandon) :
What I need is someone big and strong (Brandon selects Joel from the audience to come try it.)
Mower :
(Splutters, coughs, starts to vibrate and run)
Owner (Brandon):
There. All it needed was a real jerk.

 

The next skit was performed by Ann, Agnes, Mark and Joel.
The magic doctors chair

First patient, Agnes, enters twitching her left arm.
DOCTOR Ann: 'And what's wrong with you mam?'
Agnes: 'As you can see doctor I have this terrible twitch'
DOCTOR Ann: 'Just sit on my magic chair and you'll get better'
The patient sits on the chair and stops twitching, but the doctor's left arm starts twitching.
Agnes: 'Oh thank you doctor. you cured me!
The patient leaves, the doctor still twitching calls for the next patient (Mark).
DOCTOR Ann: ' Next '...... 'And what's wrong with you sir?'
This patient has a terribe itch. The process of sitting in the chair is repeated. The doctor now has a twitch and an itch.
The doctor now calls patient four. This patient looks quite normal, enters and sits in the magic chair.
DOCTOR Ann: 'And what may I ask is wrong with you sir?'
Patient (Joel): 'I've got a terrible case of the trots doctor' The doctor cries out in disgust while holding her stomach.

Performed by the cousins with Agnes doing a superb job as MC.

Musical Genius

The announcer, Agnes, makes a flowery introduction about how fortunate the audience is to have the opportunity to hear the splendid vocal group about to perform. After the introduction, the group marches onto stage and lines up across the front. The announcer states that their first number will be that appealing ballad "The Little Lost Sheep". Following a short musical introduction, singers open their mouths and produce a long, loud "Baa-a-a".

 

Performed by the cousins.

The Important Papers

The setting can be either a king or a boss in his office who beckons to a courtier or assistant that he wants his royal or important papers. The person runs in with a sheath of papers, the king or boss quite agitated tosses them aside and demands that they bring him his important papers. Other people bring in other things one at a time such as a magazine etc. the king throws them aside and gets more and more upset demanding that he have his important papers. At last the some one comes in with a roll of toilet paper (court jester, office boy etc.). The king knights him or the boss promotes him thanking him profusely and runs off the stage in visible relief.

The little green ball

Brandon comes on and says 'Oh no I've lost it'! He then starts to search around on the floor. Kimberly comes in and asks what he is looking for. Brandon replies that he has lost his little green ball. Both continue searching the grass. Several more cousins come on and are told about the lost little green ball. After much searching, Brandon sticks a finger up his nose and says "Don't worry I will have to make another one." YUK!!!!!
