GO FISH! SCRIPT Scene 1 = 4 sharks sitting around playing card game “Go Fish” Hammerhead 1 Cole Rogers:

Gee! I just love it when we “card sharks” get together for our weekly game of Go Fish.

Blue Shark 1 Bryce Augusti:

Hey, Mako, got any Jacks?

Mako Shark 1 Cole Bell:

Yeah Blue! I got two. (he hands them over)

Blue Shark 1 Bryce:

How about you, Hammerhead, got any 7’s?

Hammerhead 1 Cole R:

How did you know that!? (he hands over his 7’s)

Blue Shark 1 Bryce:

I got eyes in the back of my head. Okay Tiger, I know you have some 9’s. Hand ‘em over!

Tiger Shark Olivia Rivera:

(smiling) Nope! No 9’s! Go Fish, Blue, Go Fish!

Blue Shark 1 Bryce:

(shocked) What?!?

ALL OTHER sharks:

He said…… GO FISH!!

curtain opens and “Oceans of Fun!” song #1 starts Tiger Shark Olivia:

Hi everybody! I’m ready to play! I’m ready to have a wonderful day!

ALL FISH yell:

SHARKS!!!

Tiger Shark Olivia:

Stop! Stop! Don’t swim away! I just came by so we could all play!

Blue Shark 2 Will Robbins: Tiger Shark Olivia:

(fish pretend to run away)

Forget it Tiger. Just leave it behind. That’s not how it works. You’re just not their kind. But! But!....

Mako Shark 2 Keira Segars: Tiger Shark Olivia:

You heard ‘em, Tiger. Now don’t be a pest. They just don’t like sharks, so give it a rest. But, why don’t they like us? What did we do? I’m ready to be their friend through and through.

Hammerhead Shark 2 Sachim Lakshman: Some things don’t fit. Some things don’t mix. We can’t change the sea. Some things we can’t fix. Tiger Shark Olivia:

But, why?

Hammerhead Shark 2 Sachim:

Because kid…

ALL sharks:

WE’RE SHARKS!!!

Blue Shark 3 Joshua Ratliff-Weathersby: Tell ‘em Mako. Tell ‘em what’s true. Mako Shark 3 Caitlin Banks:

You said it ‘bro. That much I can do

song #2 “We’re Sharks!” solos = Rap Sharks Mako Rap Shark (Zach Kerner), Mako: A shark may have three thousand teeth; Some on top, some underneath When we chew, we just might leave a mark, That’s what it is… to be a Shark! Hammerhead Rap Shark, (Ashton Wells) Hammerhead: Got no bones, only cartilage But some’ll have bodies as big as a fridge We only swim forward, we never back up And when there’s plankton, we’re there to snack up!

3

Blue Rap Shark (Hunter Harris) Blue: You might see me comin’ with my dorsal fin If you get in my way, I usually win! Even a whale is afraid o’ me We’re sharks, not chickens of the sea! Hammerhead 3 Cooper Herakovich: You’re a shark, kid. Get used to it.

ALL Sharks!

Oh yeah!! (Sharks give each other high fives etc., except Tiger)

Zebra Fish Andy Vitello:

(from the side of the stage) Psst! Tiger!! Psst!

Tiger Shark Olivia:

(looks around) What was that? (she hears giggles)

Octopus Jack Hollingshead:

Yo! Tiger Shark! Over here!

Tiger Shark Olivia:

Who….who’s there?

Tuna Fish Jill Joyner:

(singing very poorly) Mi mi mi mi mi!!

(Octopus, Zebra Fish, Angel Fish, Needle Fish, Blow Fish, Tuna Fish and Star Fish come forward) Needle Fish Grant Corkum: (Whenever he talks, he pokes the person he’s talking to with his index finger) Who? Who? What are you? An owl? (All giggle) Tiger Shark Olivia:

(perturbed) No I’m not an owl! I’m a shark! And who are all of you?

Zebra Fish Andy:

(He is covered in polka dots. He is teasing and leading the rest to join Tiger Shark center stage) Oooo! A shark! I’m soooooo scared!

Octopus Jack:

(joining in on the fun) Me too! I’m shaking to the tips of my tentacles!

Needle Fish Grant:

Knock it off guys. I’ll do the needling around here. I am a Needle Fish you know.

Octopus Jack:

(He only has 7 legs) I’m an Octopus.

Zebra Fish Andy:

And I’m a Zebra fish.

Tiger Shark Olivia:

A Zebra Fish? But you’re covered in spots.

Zebra Fish Andy:

(sadly)Yeah I know..my extreme makeover didn’t come out quite right.

Tiger Shark Olivia:

And I thought an Octopus had eight legs. You only have seven!

Octopus Jack:

(insulted) Well, that’s seven more than you have!

Blow Fish Charlotte Mitchell: (wheezing) Oh man, somebody get me my inhaler. (Angel Fish hands her his inhaler and she uses it) Blow Fish Charlotte:

Thanks Angel.

Tiger Shark Olivia:

(To Angel 1) Who’s that?

Angel Fish 1 Kate Tyler:

That’s Blow Fish. But she has allergies like crazy.

Tuna Fish Jill:

(singing terribly). Mi, Mi, Mi, Mi, Mi! La, La La LAA LAA

5

Tiger Shark Olivia:

What’s that?

Blow Fish Charlotte:

That’s Tuna Fish. But she can’t carry a tune in a bucket!

Tiger Shark Olivia:

Wow! This is a strange group.

Needle Fish Grant:

(needling) Strange? Look, who’s talking! You don’t act like a shark! No, not at all! You act more like a minnow! or even a tadpole!

(laughter) Zebra Fish Andy:

Oh, that was a good one, Needle Fish! A tadpole! Ha ha ha!

Angel Fish 1 Kate T:

(scolding the others) Hush now Zebra. Needle Fish stop teasing! It’s not very nice. It’s not very pleasing.

Octopus Jack:

Aw come on, Angel. We were just having a little fun.

Angel Fish 2 Arden McDonald: Behave yourselves and come to your senses. Having fun is not fun at all if it’s at other’s expenses. Star Fish Anna Sonntag:

(who has been primping all along) That’s right, little shark, just be who you are. That’s the way I became such a star!

Needle Fish Grant:

(sarcastically) Oh great! Miss Star Fish is here! She hasn’t had a role in over a year!

Star Fish Anna:

(offended) I’m waiting for a producer to get a decent look at me. Then at last I’ll be the star of the sea!

Angel Fish 3 Eleanor Mezzullo: Now little shark, tell us please, why are you sad? Needle Fish Grant:

How can a shark be feeling so bad?

Tiger Shark Olivia:

I just wanted to have some fun. I wanted to be friends with everyone.

ALL (except Angel):

But you’re a shark!!

Tuna Fish Jill:

(singing loudly an ascending octave) A shark!

Tiger Shark Olivia:

(sadly) Yeah, I know.

Zebra Shark Andy:

Sharks don’t need friends.

Needle Fish Grant:

You have three thousand teeth!

Octopus Jack:

You’re a boneless wonder!

Angel Fish 4 Addisyn Rhodes: Hush now, all of you. I have a plan. The Clown Fish can help, if anyone can! Blow Fish Charlotte:

The Clown Fish? I love those guys!

Needle Fish Grant:

Me too! They really crack me up!

Zebra Fish Andy:

The Clown Fish! All right!

Tuna Fish Jill:

(singing in no recognizable tune) Send in the clowns!

It’s all so confusing, isn’t it?

Angel Fish 9 Kayla Joy Nel: Listen everybody. I know who to ask. There’s only one kind of creature that’s up to this task. Tiger Shark Olivia:

Who, Angel Fish? Who can this be? Who can explain this world to me?

12

Angel Fish 10 Kate Shuey: The ones who can shed some light in this dark, Are the one and only Great White Sharks.

ALL FISH:

The Great White Sharks?! Are you CRAZY?!

Angel Fish 11 Sophie Yoon: Yes, maybe a little, but they are very wise. And the answer you seek might be there in their eyes! Tiger Shark Olivia:

I want some friends so if they can me how, I’m not afraid! I will ask them now.

It’s me, Great White. Please don’t be aggravated. Give me a break for I think we’re related.

2 Sword Fish: Riley and Lauren What do you want?! Tiger Shark Olivia:

I want friends.

14

(as they each say their line, the friends join Tiger Shark) Octopus Jack:

I am? I mean…..I am!

Great White 2:

Zebra Fish with stripes are a dime a dozen. How lucky to be friends with this fine spotted cousin.

Zebra Fish Andy:

I do kind of like my spots.

Tiger Shark Olivia:

I like them too! They look good on you.

Great White 3:

It’s a privilege to have a friend who needs you. Keep an eye on Blow Fish and she’ll keep an eye on you too.

Tuna Fish Jill:

But what about me? I can’t carry a tune.

Star Fish Anna:

And I haven’t had a starring role since sometimes last June!

Great White 4:

(to Tuna Fish) You have a song that is all your own. (to Star Fish) And as for you, I’d pick up the phone.

(the phone rings and Star Fish takes out a cell phone.) Star Fish Anna:

(very excited) Hello. Really? No kidding! Can it really be? Cecil Be De Gill has a new role for me!

(all cheer for her) Angel Fish 12 Hannah Morgan: (to the audience) If we all were alike, how boring it would be. We all are as different as the fish in the sea.
