"Mascot City and the Pre-Determination of Colors

aka Snot, The Musical"

by

Create a Dream aka The Popping Platypus Superstarz

In Mascot City, colors determine a lot of things, including your personality. The Platypus family is no exception. Perry Jones (a male platinum colored platypus) is strong and silent and Peggy Jones (a female purple platypus) is bossy and spoiled.

One day Perry, Peggy and the Jones family are walking in Mascot City and begin to argue, as they often do. They get so lost in their tiff that they don't realize they've entered a haunted house until they meet Phroedric the Butler. While investigating the house, they come across the Black Monsters, who kidnap Phroedric and steal the Platypus family's colors, turning them clear. The Black Monsters work for Booger Green Man (who is green with envy), and is lonely and thinks that trapping the residents of Mascot City and stealing their colors will make them his friends. The Black Monsters are other mascots who've had their colors stolen. The Black Monsters trap the Jones Family (who are now color-less Platypi) in a cage.

Enter Booger Green Man, who tells the Jones he will force them to be his friends. Quick thinking Perry calls Psycho Rooster Dude and The Crazy Chicken Mayor on his wristwatch walkie talkie to come save them. The Crazy Chicken Mayer is golden yellow (happy and powerful), unless he gets angry, when he gets big red chicken pox (get it, chicken pox...). He arrives at the haunted house, and starts getting pox because he's upset that his friends have been trapped. He untraps them by picking the lock with his claw and they get their colors back and the family decides to adopt Booger Green Man. Awesomeness ensues.



"Truth Boy: The Quest"

by

Create a Play 1 aka The Dancing Abba Boo Boo Banditos

Truth Boy always liked telling the Truth. On his planet, Create-A-Toon, he was very well liked by all the townspeople because he was everyone's source for truth. Truth Boy's best friend and side kick, Bookwrom, was always with him to help him tell the truth. But everything changed one morning when Truth Boy woke up, no longer able to tell the truth. Little did he know the night before the evil witch and her minions (who were sick of Truth Boy being the most sought after denizen of Create-A-Toon) cast a spell to make Truth Boy unable to tell the truth. Looking for answers, Truth Boy went to the wise man Aboo's office. Aboo told Truth Boy in order to reverse the spell he must go on a quest to find the great white dolphin who will take him to the Witch's cave. Once there he will find the invisible sparkling rock, then present the Witch with a key. Of course things got complicated as everybody (including some "bad guys" like Stretch Girl and Ditch) in Create-A-Toon wanted the key for themselves. But Truth Boy remained calm and continued on his quest for truth with some new friends in tow.



"The Immortal Ice Unicorn"

by

Create a Play 2 aka THE IMMORTAL ICE UNICORNS

Once upon a time, in a magical and marvelous land far, far away there once lived an Immortal Ice Unicorn who protected the land and cared for all things good. There also lived a Wizard who made the Unicorn invisible because if the Sun ever saw how ice ice cold the Unicorn was the Sun would freeze and lose all its power and that would spell disaster for the inhabitants of this land. However, the evil witches, minion and moon created a fiery dragon that causes chaos across the land and stops the Wizard's invisible spell. By stopping the wizard, the eyes of the Sun finally see the invisible Immortal Ice Unicorn and because the Unicorn is ice ice cold she accidentally freezes the Sun thus giving all power and control to the Moon, Witches and the Fiery Dragon!! Stay tuned to see how our marvelous and magical story ends as we'll have special appearances by the Wizards daughters,the sky Goddess, Genie, Goku, Genius Boy, Ninja Boy, the Alien, the Good Witches and all!


"The Everything Planet"

by

Create a Tale 1 aka THE ENGINEERING MOONHANGING ZEBRAS

Our story takes place on a magical planet. On this planet there are people of all different colors (blue, purple, green, and pink people) and the people only see things as being the color that they are. There are also tigers, dinosaurs, pirates and WOLVES! One day the townspeople decide to go to Chuck E. Cheese in the Jungle when all of a sudden the wolves sneak up and bite the baby who then turns into a wolf baby! Suddenly Elijah the Pirate with his dinosaur and tiger companions appear and chase the wolves away. The townspeople ask their rescuers for help but they are tired and need to nap first. The next day the townspeople go to the river where they see the wolves and the wolves surround them. But The townspeople have a secret, they know a secret song to stop the wolves. Will the wolves fall in the river? Will the spell be broken?




"The Fairies in the Cages of Dr. Smarts"

by

Create a Tale 2 aka THE MAGICAL ROYAL UNIHEARTS

Fairies, from the Planet Umumumum, from the town of Tinkerland (where Tinkerbell is from, the most famous of all Fairies), awake in the morning and discover a new house that was not in their town the day before. They go to investigate, but it turns out that this house is a trap set by James Nobody, from fairystore. com. The Fairies get captured and are brought back to earth. James takes his rocket to Umumumum to capture Fairies that he sells online. These particular fairies were ordered by Dr. Smarts, who has six brains in is head under his special brain hat. If he doesn't drink Fairy Juice, his head will split open, the brains will fall out and explode. So he has to have the juice. A secret team of Fairy Spies discover that their friends are missing and go to earth to save them. But the Squishies, who work for Dr. Smarts, are guarding the captured Fairies, and can transform into other creatures to ward off any rescuers. The Fairies will have to discover a new way for Dr. Smarts to survive that does not involve capturing their friends, in order to save their friends and return to their own planet.



"The Great Banana and Gluestick War of the Brethren Kings"

a retelling of a play from Create-A-Play Summer Camp 2005

by

CAP Pro

The entire land is enmeshed in battle--bananas and glue sticks flying everywhere, a war led by two opposing kings, Glorklepus and Suplekrog. It seems that the war is not going well for Glorkelpus's Kingdom, though. His advisor Florkerd gives charts and graphs that show how they are losing badly. However, his other advisor Genesis knows they can win and wants to keep the war going. She encourages Glorkelpus to fuel the fire of the war by sending a dangerous note to Suplekrog and his crew, the Troublemakers. Glorkelpus sends the note, which gets The Troublemakers even more angry.

Genesis then decides it is time to start a rumor, that Glorkelpus and Suplekrog are brothers. This distracts Glorkelpus from the war and allows Genesis to take over. However, just at that moment, the Troublemakers develop a Banana Bomb to destroy Glorkelpus's Kingdom (well, in truth, more like turn it into one giant Banana Cream Pie).

Glorkelpus is so distracted by the rumor that he and Suplekrog are brothers that he can think of nothing else and must investigate. He goes to Grandma's Everything in the World for $0.99 Shop, where he finds out that the rumor is true!!! He goes back in time to see himself as an 11-year-old and discovers how this terrible truth unfolded--that he was so mean to his brother and kicked him out to the Troublemakers.

How will this be resolved? Will the kingdom ever be the same?

launched in October 2009 with a momentous community-building event. Ever since,

students, teachers and parents from P.S. 191/Hudson Honors, P.S. 199, and The Gateway

Schools have strengthened their collaboration through enriching leadership development

programs that encourage students to take action to improve their shared community. The

Speyer Legacy School, Beacon High School, and The Heschel School are also partners in

this community event.

During the second Community Day of Action and Beautification, the school communities

will come together to celebrate their partnership through a day of tree planting,

environmentally-minded art activities, student action presentations, and a community

carnival. Council Member Gale Brewer will present the schools with a commemorative

plaque to honor this collaboration.

The event is co-organized by Border Crossers, a non-profit organization that builds

partnerships between diverse New York City schools, and prepares students to take action

for change in their community.
