Treasure on Angel Isle
BY BARBARA RYAL
Script Sample picks up when the kids are already shipped wrecked.
Scene III Everyone make a wave - close curtain-ocean sound F.X. lights off and on-scene change- palm trees- tropical isle set- at this time angels and pirates get into costume off stage- kids sit around the beach.
K 26: Captain that was remarkable. How did you keep us from sinking?
K 27: It was like we were surfing across the top of that tidal wave!
Biff: All the food and water floated right to shore with us. It was as though it was being pulled along!
Captain: I don't understand why we didn't get a warning on our radio. It was so strange,
neither the compass or the radio were working. (Kids look at Mac- Mac looks ashamed)
K 28: Were you able to signal where we are?
Captain: Sorry kids, nobody knows where we are.
All: We're shipwrecked!
K 29: Thank goodness we hit that sand bar and were able to wade shore on this island.
K30: Thanks to the Captain and his fearless crew, the Friendship was not lost! It was a miracle!
K31: What island is this Captain?
Captain: I have no idea! This area of the Caribbean is full of un-charted and un-inhabited islands. (holds cell phone) And has NO cell phone reception!
All: We're marooned!
Captain: Don't panic, my son and I have had survival training.
K 32: Are you going to build a signal fire first or are we going to write a giant S.O.S in the sand so that the rescue planes can spot us?
Captain: That's not what I do first.
K 33: Do we spread out and look for shelter?
Captain: No, that's not what I do first.
K 34: Captain Davey, I know what to do first. Once I got lost in the forest when I spent a summer at Camp Kitcheekoo, the first thing we did when we saw we were in trouble, was pray!
Captain: Bingo, little buddy! The first thing I always do when I see that a situation is desperate, is to pray!
K 35: Is it legal for American citizens to pray on foreign soil?
K 36: I know we aren't allowed to pray at school, but I always sneak a prayer in before I take a test. I hope the A.C.L.U. doesn't find out!
D.J: It's not illegal for you to talk to your Heavenly Father. He loves each one of you. We are just not to force our beliefs on others.
K 37: Well, if Captain Davey says he likes to pray first, I think we ought to let him!
Captain: Dear Lord, thank you for sparing our lives. Please save us! A-men!
All: A- men!
Captain: Okay, you older boys go with D.J. and find some food and water. Stay together and keep an eye on the shore line so you won't get lost. You older girls, look for rocks and fallen coconuts, so that we can make an S.O.S. You younger kids dig a big hole in the sand.
(D.J and a few kids leave stage left)
LK 38: Hey, how come we have to play in the sand? We want to help too!
LK 39: Yeah, we want to help!
LK 40: You don't think we can do anything ' cause we're little! We aren't important!
All: You don't think we are important!
LK 41: Hey! Do you hear that? It sounds like singing!
(Band of Angels appear- singing " Yo ho yo ho an Angels life for me.”)
K 42: Holy cow! Who are you?
Winnie: Cows aren't holy and I'm Winnifred, this is a band of angels!
K 43: Angels! Holy mackerel! Who are you?
Estelle: Mackerel are edible fish of the North Atlantic, with greenish blue striped back and silver belly. They are rather pretty, but they are definitely not holy!
K 44: Is this some kind of joke? Are you part of the Coast Guard sent to save us?
Winnie: Actually we are part of the guard, but not the Coast Guard. We are your Guardian Angels and we are here to help you! By the way Captain Davey, you did a great job out maneuvering that tsunami!
Captain: Thanks. Are you really Angels?
A 1: Yep, the Lord sent us here to keep an eye on all of you.
A 2: This Island has lots of surprises in store for you!
K 45: If you were suppose to be our Guardian Angels, how come we are shipwrecked on an island in the middle of the Caribbean Sea?
A 3: At least you’re on Angel Isle and not "under the sea!"
All: Good point!
A 4: Who do you think arranged for that convenient sand bar for you to walk on?
K 46: Thanks for the help. But, why us? We were supposed to be on a safe un-exciting tour of the harbor and wham-o, we catch the mother of all waves and we end up on Gilligan's Isle!
Winnie: Sometimes bad things happen and it's hard to understand why the Lord allows nice people to have problems. Isn't that so Captain Davey? You've been praying for quite a while about a sad situation in your life and you can't understand why the Lord won't give you an answer.
Captain: It's true; I have been waiting and waiting for God to answer my prayer about my son.
K 47: What's wrong with your son? He looks all right, is he sick?
A 5: Not D.J., Captain Davey has been praying about his youngest son Peter, he ran away!
K 48: Maybe he ran away 'cause he's the littlest and nobody thinks he's important. Captain Davey wouldn't let us help because we are the youngest.
A 6: You have a lot to learn about what's important and what God can do with little things!
SONG: Little Is Much!
Winnie: The reason Captain Davey had you dig that big hole in the sand was to build a fire pit for the signal to be seen at night. It is a very important job. Come on Angels, we have work to do!
K 50: Hey! Wait a minute. Aren't you going to save us or something?
Estelle: Just do what Captain Davey says, we'll be around.
(Angels leave stage right)
Captain: I better climb to the top of that mountain over there and see what else is on this island. You stay here and start digging our fire pit.
(Captain Davey leaves down center isle through audience- kids pretend that they are digging- Pirates enter with older kids and D. J. as hostages- stage left.)
P 1: 'Ar there bilge rats, belay that diggin'
Kids: What?
Pirates: He said, "'Ar there bilge rats, belay that diggin'"
Kids: What does that mean and who are you?
P 2: That means, stop digging and we are the pirate band, "The Swine of the Sea" and you are our prisoners!
K 51: What a day we are having! First we're marooned, then visited by Angels, now the Pirates of the Caribbean!
P 3: No, we are the "Swine of the Sea" The Pirates of the Caribbean are fun, we are not fun!
P 4: Our Captain is the scourge of the seven seas. He is the meanest, scariest, most horrible pirate to sail the high sea. He's P.J. the Pirate!
P 5: What are you sea slugs diggin' for? Treasure?
Biff: We're digging a pit for. . .
Mac: They are digging a pit to put you Pirates in. A rescue ship is on its’ way here right now to pick us up and you will all be arrested!
Pirates: Oohh! we're soooo scared! (laughter)
P.J.: I think you are a bit confused. You are our prisoners!
K 53: You can't hold us prisoners, we're American citizens and we have Guardian Angels looking out for us!
Pirates: Oohh! Now we're really scared! (laughter)
P 6: Gee! Swine, maybe we ought to get on our knees and beg for mercy! (laughter)
P 7: Maybe we should all go to Sunday school and stop being bad! (laughter)
Song: Change My Evil Evil Ways
PJ.: Where is the Captain of your vessel and what's his name?
Mac: His name is Captain David P. Jones and he is most likely signaling for help!
P.J: Captain Davey is here on this island? (Acts worried) I mean. . . Is he Captain Davey? I. . . I heard about him. Come on Swine, let's get out of here! We have work to do. We don't have time to play with these little kids!
P 8: Captain P.J., what are you talking about? You said we could get a million dollars ransom for these little kids?
P 9: Yeah, we want to make these guys walk the plank and maybe help with digging up our treasure. Treasure
digging is hard work!
P.J.: I said let 'em go! Let's get out of here! Now!
(Pirates start to leave- Winnifred and the angels enter )
Winnie: Where you going in such a hurry?
Pirates: Holy Toledo! Who are you?
Winnie: Toledo, Ohio is a lovely city, but it is far from holy! We are God's holy Angels and you are in a peck of trouble! (Kids cheer)
Pirates: We aren't scared of you!
Estelle: You should be! (Angels wave their hands - Pirates all fall down at the same time)
A 6: You don't have to live a life of crime. We heard you singing that you would like to change your evil, evil ways!
P 10: We were just making a joke!
A 7: There's always a bit of truth in jokes. You don't really want to be living a life of crime, do you?
P11: Well, even if we did want to change, nobody would believe us! Nobody would give us another chance.
A 8: Your heavenly Father would give you a chance. He loves you and He wants you to have treasures beyond
your wildest dream!
Kids: Treasures? For them?
Pirates: Treasures? For us?
A 9: God offers each of you the chance to live a life full of His riches and gifts!
