HALLOWEEN COMEDY. Farmer John has been sad and lonely ever since his beloved dog, Daisy, ran off a week ago. To cheer him up, Farmer John’s neighbors and some barnyard animals plan a Halloween party complete with Halloween treats and decorations. Hilarious Halloween hoopla ensues when Farmer John’s neighbors arrive dressed like barnyard animals, and the barnyard animals show up dressed like Farmer John’s neighbors! Together, the barnyard animals and humans play fun Halloween games like guessing the number of candy corn in a jar, “Pin the Stem on the Pumpkin,” and “Pass the Pumpkin.” And what Halloween party would be complete without a best costume contest? Suitable for actors and audiences of all ages. Easy to stage with just one set.
