Сценарій позакласного заходу "What's on?" a TV guide

            Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen!

1. (  Breaking  news )

Here is some breaking news! If you haven’t known yet what happened, I’d like to inform you that today is St. Nicholas Day and this holiday is the favourite one for those children who behave well. What was your behabiour this year?!

If you are good, you get chocolate, fruit or sweets. If you are bad,you get coal, onions, potatoes and not fun toys. Or, probably, everyone who is present here today may rely on St. Nicholas kindness in order to get a desirable gift. He is getting here on his sledge, so it is willingly to have a snowy winter not to get stuck somewhere on his way.

2. And our TV presenter Kate Lykova will inform you what the weather is going to be during the following few days.

 ( The weather forecast )

 

Good afternoon!

In the west it is rainy, too, and in the south-east it is quite sunny and the winter is slowly going away. Looking ahead, in the next three days we are expecting the weathet to get warmer and sunnier, but still quite rainy and wet. That is all for now. Thanks for watching! I am Kate Lykova. Now back to news!

Characters.

Nina is a TV presenter in her twenties. She presents the reality show Eco TV. She is upbeat and confident. This is a smaller role as she only appears at the beginning and end of the drama.

Ben is one of the contestants in the house. He is twenty years old and very environmentally friendly. He is always bossing the others around. He gets incredibly stressed by Steve, who is very laid back about recycling and he finds Jenny annoying.

Jenny is eighteen years old and is another housemate. She is a TV addict and, with there being no TV, has found life in the house very difficult. She complains about it a lot.

Steve is the third housemate left in the house. He is seventeen years old and not at all environmentally aware. He is lazy and doesn’t really care about the environment; he is only interested in being on TV.

Green Fly is an unseen character who watches the contestants at all times. We only ever hear his/her voice when contestants talk to him/her. He/She sometimes asks them questions about their experience in the house. This is a role for a student who isn’t confident about appearing on stage.

 

                                         Script.

 

(Nina is speaking to the TV audience).

Nina            Hello! It’s time for Eco TV, the amazing reality show, where the

                     participants live in an eco house and recycle as much as they can! 

                     Tonight, it’s an incredibly exciting programme, because it’s the last night

                     in the house! Nine weeks ago there were twelve housemates. And now there

                    are only three. You, the viewers, can choose the most eco-friendly

                    housemate! Who recycles a lot? Wgo hardly ever recycles? Is it Ben, Jenny 

                    or Steve? Let’slooook inside the house...

 

(Nina exits. Steve enters the living room and sits on the sofa. Jenny enters, wearing a jumper, hat and a scarf. She sits next to Steve.)

 

 

Jenny       I’m cold. (She looks up at a TV camera.) Green Fly, I’m really cold! Please

                    do something!

Steve          Green Fly is there to listen and talk, that’s all! You’re always cold. Have a

                   hot bath.

Jenny        That uses too much electricity.

Steve         I had a bath this morning.

Jenny       Ooh, you’re terrible!

Steve        What time is it?

Jenny        It’s seven o’clock. At eight o’clock the viewers who watch this will choose the

                  most eco-friendly housemate – it isn’t you!

Steve        Huh! I reckon you waste more than me…

(Ben enters, holding an empty can. He looks angry.)

Steve        What’s the matter, Ben? Are you tidying the kitchen? Don’t worry, it’s the

                   last night!                              

Ben          Who threw this can away?

Jenny      It wasn’t me.

Ben         This was in the bin in the kitchen!

Steve      So? Relax!

Ben         Relax? This is an eco house! You recycle!

Jenny      We know, Ben.

Ben         Who put this can in the bin? Steve, was it you? Do you ever recycle anything?

Steve      Sometimes. Do you ever stop shouting?

Ben          (shouting) I’m not shouting!

Jenny      This house is too noisy! You two argue all the time. I really want to wach TV.

Ben           There isn’t a TV here.

Jenny       I know. I really miss it!

Steve        You’re on TV at the moment!

(Steve waves at a TV camera).

Jenny      I missed my favourite soap opera again yesterday. I last watched it nine weeks

                 ago. I usually watch it three times a week!

Ben          What, The Family? That’s the worst programme…

Jenny      No, it isn’t! It’s more interesting than documentaries.

Ben            Documentaries are a lot more intelligent than soap operas.

Jenny       What were your favourite TV programmes when you were young?

Ben          Didn’t we talk about it yesterday? I’m not doing it again. I’m bored.

(Ben exits.)

Steve         I feel the same, and I’m tired. I want to sllep before the viewers choose me

                   at eight o’clock!

(Steve makes a’thumb up’ sign to a TV camera and lies down on the sofa.)

Jenny       You two are really boring!

(Jenny exits. We hear the voice of Green Fly.)

Green Fly      (off stage) Hello, Steve. This is Green Fly.

(Steve sits up.)

Steve         Oh, hi, Green Fly!

Green Fly      Did you argue with Ben again?

Steve        Yes. He can be very difficult. When we came into the house nine weeks ago,

                  I thought he was quite funny, but he’s really intolerant. I thnk that I’m much

                 more friendly.

Green Fly    Do you think you’re eco-friendly, Steve?

Steve            Oh, yes!

(Ben enters, holding a plastic bag.)

Ben           (shouting) Steve! I found this plastic bag in the bin in the bedroom! Plastic

                  bags pollute the environment!

Steve       Ben! Chill!

(Steve exits.)

Ben          Green Fly, are you there?

Green Fly     Hello, Ben! How are you feeling?

Ben          I’m not very happy. Steve never thinks about the environment!

Green Fly    What about Jenny?

Ben          Jenny tends to be quite good – she often recycles bottles and paper. But she

                always complains because there isn’t a TV here. Yesterday, we were eating

                lunch and she complained about it all the time!

(Jenny enters.)

Jenny      Ben, it’s Wednesday 19^th December! I think I’m missing that new TV drama

                 Series!

Ben         Arrghh!

(Ben exits.)

Green Fly      Hello, Jenny! How are you?

Jenny             I’m not great.

Green Fly     How are you felling about Ben and Steve?

Jenny           Well, when I came in here, I saw Ben with his big brown eyes. He looked

                      nice. But he isn’t! He’s always shouting and he’s too serious, and Steve’s

                      always teasing him. They can both be quite mean and annoying.

Green Fly    Who do you think recycles the most?

Jenny           I think I do!

Green Fly    It’s time for the viewers to choose! Ben and Steve, please could you come

                      Into theliving room?

(Ben and Steve enret as Nina enters from the opposite side.)

Jenny    

Ben                 Nina!

Steve

Nina            Hello! I’ve got some news for you all!

Steve           Did the viewers choose me?

Ben             You? Ha!

Jenny         Did they choose me, Nina?

Nina           No, they didn’t choose anyone.

Steve          What?

Nina          You’re all quite eco-friendly, but you aren’t friendly to each other! This isn’t

                  your last night in the house. You’ve got another four weeks to learn to be

                  friendly!

(Ben, Jenny and Steve look shocked and start arguing. Nina speaks to the TV camera.)

Nina         That’s all from Eco TV evening, see you next month!

Money, Money, Money   by ABBA

 

I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain't it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That's too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha aha
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
It's a rich man's world

 

6. Our modern world if full of magic and mysterious things. Fortune tellers are popular with those who are impatient and desire to get known the future right here and right now. Magicians entertain viewers and try to make a fool of careless, ingenuous people. Are our participants naïve as well?!

Oleg: So, Rosa, do you need volunteers?

Dasha: Ummm… Yes, I need one!

Oleg: OK, choose who you want. (after Dasha chose.) Introduce yourself. (When the volunteer chose five cards and Dasha shows the focus.) Look carefully at the hands of this lady / gentleman, you have never seen this before!

Dima: This is a quackery! Give me this card. This isn’t an ordinary card, it’s tapered!

Dasha: Mr Lemon, are you still not confident in my magic skills?

                                                  Happy New Year   by ABBA

 

No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say

Happy New Year
Happy New Year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbor is a friend
Happy New Year
Happy New Year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway

Happy New Year
Happy New Year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbor is a friend
Happy New Year
Happy New Year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It's the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we'll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine

Happy New Year
Happy New Year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbor is a friend
Happy New Year
Happy New Year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
