Snooks wants to go trick or treating for
Halloween but Mommy and Daddy don’t want
her out and getting into trouble.
Besides, Daddy is expecting an evening
visit from the doctor to examine him for
insurance. Phoebe arrives to see if
Snooks can come out to trick or treat
for Halloween… Daddy relents but then
decides to scare them and teach them a
lesson. In the process he also scares
their friend Roger which leads to a
confrontation and a scuffle with Roger’s
dad Mr. Hopkins.
Daddy and Mr. Hopkins hilariously go back and
forth at each other for the remainder of
the show, complete with rocks crashing
through windows, doors being torn off
the house, traps being set for one
another, dogs running rampant, a horse
in the kitchen and Daddy being stuck
headfirst in Hopkins’s chimney.
Meanwhile, the doctor has come to
examine Daddy only to fall victim to a
beaning with a flat iron and a dousing
with cold water.
This is a very funny show, replete with built in
commercials for Jello, one of the shows
original sponsors. It will be presented
in classic radio theatre style with
actors standing at microphones, script
in hand. As well as the cast, there
will be two or three people on stage
making all of the sound effects (closing
doors, clattering of dishes/silverware,
ringing phones, a scuffle, glass
shattering, etc.), the background music
(one person at an organ keyboard) and
possibly someone with signs encouraging
the audience to applaud, laugh, groan,
etc.. This should be great fun for all
involved, especially our audience.
