Seabury Gets SASSI

The entire lower school at Seabury collaborated 
and came up with an amazing 
Seabury on Stage Reader's Theater production called

Duh, duh, duuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

The Case of the SASSI Mystery
(Secret Association of Spy Schools.)

The task: to solve the mystery of the missing teachers!

The story was written by the kids.
This first grader (who is an amazing reader) was one of the narrators.

"Hello, ladies, gentlemen, children and pets of all shapes and sizes.  Good evening and welcome to this installment of the Seabury On Stage Reader's Theater." 


Everyone worked together to get to the microphones at the right time 
and to manage the scripts.
This first grader read his lines loud and clearly, 
"This place would fall apart if it weren't for Mr. Darby!" 

The play was full of word plays. 
The name Darby is a play on our faithful and fearless aide's name, Brad.
Brad backwards spells Darby. The kids added the y to make it sound better.


This first grader was cast as Mrs. BQ (Be Quiet), the Librarian.

It was truly amazing how quiet the kids were 
as they were all on the stage the entire time!


It's time for a commercial break:

♫ "Don't go away, just sit and stay, we'll be right back for you today!" ♫
*DING*

One of the commercials:
♫ Pop, pop, fizz, fizz, 
Oh, what a relief it is! ♫


The sound effect creators performed a variety of sounds using a myriad of items. 


Heavy doors opening and clanging shut, skidding tires, portals taking off and landing, fake laughs, walking on gravel, crickets, chairs falling, keys rattling...



Each part was important:
Time to dream: ringing the chimes 


Duh, duh, duuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

The mystery has been solved! 

The key with the engraving "3-D" led to the...

Duh, duh, duuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Deep Dark Dungeon (get it? Three D's?)
(The Deep Dark Dungeon is a storage room
 that students aren't allowed in at our school. 
There are a lot of legends concerning this mysterious place.)

And in the DDD were all the missing teachers!!

Whodunit?!

Why, it was Mr. Elbert, of course!
Treble spelled backwards!
(Get it???)

[Sounds of laughter]

First Grade-isms

A first grader recites 200+ digits of pi!
