Chef's Surprise
| Props: | large can, pair of socks, ladle, tongs. condiments (salt, pepper, etc.) can be mimed. |
|---|---|
| Notes: | stage the can off to the side but visible throughout. adjust number of parts to match program length. builds best when spaced between acts. |
[Emcee:] It looks like (Scoutmaster) is cooking dinner. It sure smells good.
Emcee takes a ladle full of 'soup' and slurps it noisily.
[Emcee:] Mmmmm, that's good. But it could use a little salt.
Emcee pulls a salt shaker from his pocket and adds salt to the 'soup.'
PART TWO, after a couple of acts:
Emcee goes back over to the can.
[Emcee:] Dinner is really smelling good!
Emcee takes a ladle full of 'soup' and slurps it noisily.
[Emcee:] Mmmm, it's tasting really good, but it needs some pepper.
Emcee pulls a pepper shaker from his pocket and adds pepper to the 'soup.'
PART THREE: repeat as before but with Mayonnaise.
PART FOUR (FINALE):
Emcee goes back over to the can.
[Emcee:] Dinner is really smelling good! I can't wait.
Emcee takes a ladle full of 'soup' and slurps it noisily.
Scoutmaster comes on to stage and over to the can.
[Emcee:] (To Scoutmaster) Mr Smith? When is supper going to be ready? I'm really hungry.
[Scoutmaster:] Supper? I haven't even started supper.
[Scout #1:] Well what is this, then? (Takes another loud slurp.)
[Scoutmaster:] (Lifts the sock out of the can) It's my socks.
Emcee makes uggh sounds, and gurgling noises as they exit the stage, making room for the Cheer Master or Song Master and the next act.
