TO BE AN EAGLE!
This play, ideally performed by 2nd-8th graders, can easily be adapted for a cast between 12 and 60-plus in size by varying the number of villagers/poachers/chickens and/or by doubling parts. Small casts, for example, can eliminate some of the specific voices by doubling or tripling up on speaking parts (for example, having only 2-3 speaking villagers, hens, etc.), and even smaller groups may want the same children to play villagers and chickens. Larger groups can always add extra (non-speaking) animals as singers and dancers. Virtually all parts can be played by either boys or girls.
