Assembly Plan for Browick

My group for the assembly (Freya, Chloe, Sam, Jacob and me) are going to be playing some toys and their owner; a boy who has outgrown them. I am a teddy bear, Chloe is a cat, Jacob is a robot and Freya is GI Joe. We are sitting on a shelf in Sam's bedroom, shivering and complaining about how we never get played with. To interact with the children, we thought that we should tell them to shout every time Sam comes in (sort of like panto) to make them laugh and to get them more involved. We then freeze in our toy positions when Sam enters, hoping he will play with us but he soon leaves without touching us. After that we start to get upset that he still hasn't played with us and start to suggest that maybe he should take us to a charity shop; then at least we will go to someone who wants us.
Sam then enters again and we hear his mum shouting at him up the stairs to sort out his old toys-telling him to take them to a charity shop or throw them in the bin. The toys are obviously horrified as they don't want to go in the bin. Sam picks them up one by one (we have to pick ourselves up and act like toys) but when he picks up Jacob the robot his arm falls off. Sam announces his intentions to put us in the bin to the audience but they persuade him to take us to the charity shop (good news for the toys!) Obviously he has to fix Jacob as you can't take broken toys to the charity shop. He then leaves to tell his mum his plans and the toys celebrate his decision. A happy ending for all!

  1. L03 - What the group did and how you organised yourselves. This is an important part of the rehearsal process to reflect on ideas for TIE performance what's working and isn't.
