These sketches use the animal kingdom as a metaphor
for the high school (zoo) experiences. The herd
mentality has students texting in class, fretting
homework, and avoiding the jockosaurus. Students and
teachers will see themselves in the characters and
situations portrayed here. Sketches include: Wild
Kingdom Introduction, Regular Old Student,
Working Harder, The Modern Classroom Part 1,
The Lunchroom, The Modern Classroom Part 2,
Homework, The Parent Conference, The Modern
Classroom Part 3 and Crowd Control. These skits
offer lots of teen character roles (jock, nerd, Goth and
more) for young performers. Great material for
classroom rehearsal, contests, and variety shows.
