Target Audience: High School Two actors play a wide variety of colorful characters in four different educational sketches. The scenes combine high energy sketch comedy with improvisation to teach students about financial literacy through a fun experience. At the beginning of each scene an actor will interact with the audience and get some information that will be used during the sketch, such as their favorite band or something they have always dreamed of having. This information will be interjected into the sketch and may even be the point of the scene or the basis of a character! • In the first sketch, a character is about to buy something (suggested by the audience) at the mall. The clerk asks whether that will be credit or cash and then goes on to explain the advantages and disadvantages of each. • In the second sketch, two contestants (one a student volunteer) play a game show called “Minimum Maximum”, where the contestants pay the host $4000. But the contestants get to choose how they will pay; with a minimum monthly payment, a medium one or the maximum amount. • The third sketch deals with a pizza parlor employee having to complete ridiculous tasks (selected by the audience) within a short “grace period” in order to keep her job. • The last sketch explores a “Day in the Life” of a student volunteer. Though the “student” is continually reminded to read the credit disclosure on his new credit card, he refuses, with comedic consequences. |
