Song "Alyonushka"
Buffoons appear:
1. As in the village of Amanita
Fences bloom in spring
And if where the log lies,
It will grow into a hut.
There are enough miracles for everything -
The garden is digging itself
And at once a hundred buckets
Carries water with a sieve.
2. Thieves steal garbage there ...
But where are those Amanitas?
Look for them on the map
What a bug to carry by the tail.
And we easily
There is not even a nickel.

Look at the goose!

And behind the eyes - solid litter.
The crow flies away.

Magpie
Master
Dog
Narrator
On the stage, on the left and right, there are two houses with porches.
Narrator
The cat was dissatisfied with his feeding,
Became lazy, and was fired for that.
The door of the house on the left creaks open. A cat flies out of it head over heels with a loud meow. After him, his bundle with things is thrown out.
Cat (grouchily)
Think! Not a great honor
Serve all day, but do not eat enough!
With my talent and willingness to work
I'd better find a job.
I just need a chance.
A Magpie-postman with a newspaper flies out from behind the house and flies past the Cat. The cat takes the newspaper and opens it.
cat (joyfully)
And here he is!
(reads in syllables)
Need a dog… Address… Phone…
Feeding twice a day… housing…
(with enthusiasm)
However!
I'm going to work as a dog.
With my mind and with such a mustache
I'm much better than any dog!
The cat takes the bundle, goes to the porch of the house on the right and knocks on the door. The owner opens it for him.
Cat
I came to be hired by an ad.
Owner (surprised)
But you are a cat!
Cat
Much to my regret!
I was born a cat, not my fault.
I really need this job.
I can do it for sure, just give me time!
So am I hired?
Master
Not! Pour first.
Cat
Why bark? It's clear, and so
That any fool can bark.
Yes, I have a lot of talents:
I can roll balls, play with a bow,
I can purr and catch mice
I can pump and nurse babies.
I can also climb a tree.
How can a dog compete with me?
I'm much better, trust me...
Dog appears with a newspaper and goes to the porch.
Dog
Woof! Woof!
Owner (Psu)
You suit me perfectly!
Your job!
Narrator
Protect the house from a thief
The dog was hired without further ado.
And the cat was left on the porch with nothing.
The dog enters the house. The owner closes the door in front of the cat.
Cat (angrily)
Why does he need a dog? Well, why?
The owner looks out the window.
Master
Then, that you do not own the skill -
Though everyone is good, but you don’t know how to bark.
Narrator
This is how it happens: sometimes people
Looking for a job for years
Not understanding what's at work
Skill is not the same as hunting.

At least a little thick-skinned.
Where can I find this?
I better go for it!

Shakes his head again
And fox him for it
Pays with the same coin
After tears pours into the pillow.
This is how they marry each other!

Narrator
On a hot day under a fence near a pear
Young chicks sat side by side.

As long as them chickens in the yard
Played on the trampled grass
They, without annoying fidgets,
Gradually they were talking to each other.
First Chicken (enthusiastically)
Oh, how good our crumbs are!
Second Hen (with affection)
Beautiful, at least write a picture with them!
Chickens at this time indulge and offend each other, but mothers do not pay attention to this.
Third Hen (proudly)
Yes, everything is with them - both mind and upbringing!
Not like those obnoxious creatures
That other mothers will be born,
Which just to feed soon
And fly away from the nest in the same minute.
First Hen (contritely)
I think orphanhood is hardly worse!
And then there is no need to be surprised,
That half was eaten by a cat
And the one that unfortunately survived,
Steals and wanders around doing nothing.
I can't wait for winter to come
And chase them away.
Second Hen
You are right, motherfucker!
From their neighborhood we have one loss!
First Hen (sympathetically)
Poor things! After maternal torture
Don't expect any good from them!
Third Hen (grumpily)
I think it's time to pass the law
What if the mother went somewhere,
Remove the chicks and hand them over to the incubator,
Eradicate the vice and evil of nature
And raise exemplary chickens out of them!
Second Hen (contemptuously)
They still do not become like our children -
There are few talents.
Third Hen (arrogantly)
Yes, not for everyone
Fly, like us, through life high.
First Hen
But at least they can say: “Ko-ko!”.
For them, and this, believe me, is not enough!
Narrator
While this trinity chatted,
Their chickens, walking around the yard,
Found a hole in the fence
And got out.

There is a gurgle and the second chicken disappears.
Narrator
Shot down a third passing tarantass.
There is a roar, neighing, a horse harnessed to a tarantass rushes past the chickens, and the third chicken disappears.
Narrator
The fourth fought with the fifth - pecked in the eye.
The two chickens fight desperately and run into the bushes.
Narrator
The rest were driven back by the children.
A boy with a stick runs out from behind a bush, he chases the squeaking chickens and drives them back into the yard.
Narrator
Of the klush, no one noticed the loss,
While the cock who learned about the trouble
Of all three, I did not pluck all the fluff.
A Rooster appears on the fence, crows loudly, flies down and, with an indignant cackle, chases chickens around the stage and pecks them. Chickens rush about, fluff and feathers fly.
Rooster (angrily)
There you are! So that the tails are not wiped in vain,
And the children were supervised!
Narrator
And sometimes people have
Such an adventure with kids.
So that the children of others grow up no worse,
Not chatter - looking after them is needed.
All the actors come out

Creative tasks for theater studio in kindergarten and primary school
Murashova Natalia Yurievna Teacher additional education MBOU secondary school No. 58, Khabarovsk.Target: Theatricalization of the famous fairy tale in kindergarten.
Tasks:
- Adapt well-known fairy tales for short theatrical productions;
- To organize conditions for creative self-expression of a group of children;
- Develop improvisation skills among future KVN players.
Description: The idea to remake the Russians folk tales for short improvisations came to me a long time ago. Just then, I was developing and testing my theater circle program for various parallels. "Golden Key", "Little Red Riding Hood", and " The Scarlet Flower"Got to the middle link, and I rewrote these fairy tales for elementary school. But, I think, in kindergarten they will be even more appropriate (you can slightly rewrite the lines in the Kolobok fairy tale, since I did it for grade 4). Somewhere I also had a fairy tale about Mashenka and the three bears... but the printout got lost somewhere over the years, I'll find it and publish it later.
Such an impromptu theater will be useful to many: educators, teachers of additional education, leaders of the theater circle, animators and interested parents. It can be used on any children's day birthday, celebration of the birthday in the classroom, in the classroom theater circle in kindergarten or elementary school, in all sorts of events dedicated to the week of the theater.
Progress:
Each participant in the action is given a sheet with one single phrase, which he will have to say every time he hears his "name" (role).
It is important to explain that you need to say your phrase each time in a different way: with different emotions corresponding to the situation.
It is extremely important to rehearse a couple of times in advance.

however, I take an active part in you; believe me, for you on purpose

EVENT 15.
DARIA SEMENOVNA I can't get enough of your Katenka, Agrafena
Grigorievna: in the full sense of the beauty!
KUBYRKINA Much mercy, Darya Semyonovna. Why don't you look at strangers! On the
your Mashenka, I have tea, you won’t have time to stop looking. We were talking about her the other day
General Akhlebova. That's a girl, you can say that a girl!
DARIA SEMENOVNA She kept everything to herself, but did you raise yours at home?
KUBYRKINA At home, Darya Semyonovna.
DARIA SEMENOVNA Please tell me what tricks exactly in the big
she lived in the light of the ages .. and what modesty, how she keeps herself!
KUBYRKINA I’m already pleased, Darya Semyonovna, that she is with your
Mashenka got closer. Believe me, it's been a month since we arrived, and I
I find that Katenka won a lot. Yes, from whom to adopt, if not from yours
Masha? Here is an exemplary girl and what a bell-ohm!
DARIA SEMENOVNA Bel fam, you mean.
KUBYRKINA Yes, mother, it's all the same" Well, there's nothing to say, feast for the eyes
your Masha.
DARIA SEMENOVNA And do you think your Katenka is not fun to look at?
KUBYRKINA What manners!
DARIA SEMENOVNA What a bon-ton!
KUBYRKINA What a pleasure!
DARIA SEMENOVNA What a touch of conversation!
KUBYRKINA It is impossible not to congratulate
DARIA SEMENOVNA From the side you will rejoice.
KUBYRKINA I'm surprised she's not married yet! Suitors something, I think, and
can't be counted!
DARIA SEMENOVNA Yes, there is - fourteen generals got married.
KUBYRKINA(aside) Lying" just lying!
DARIA SEMENOVNA There were colonels and captains, the prince was alone. Only me
Mashenka is not bondage, let her choose herself. After all, she will have to live together, and not
to me. However, as a good friend, I can tell you a secret: today I
She spoke to her car.
KUBYRKINA Really? Here came a happy day, and I told Katenka
today.
DARIA SEMENOVNA My daughter is marrying a rich man; yeah, that's not the point
a good person. You may have heard about Alexander Zolotnikov?
KUBYRKINA what? Here are the rubbish! My daughter is marrying Zolotnikov; they
engaged for a long time, and now they decided again.
DARIA SEMENOVNA No, excuse me... he immediately asked for Mashenka's hand in marriage.
KUBYRKINA No, not Mashenka, but Katenka.
DARIA SEMENOVNA Masha, they tell you!
KUBYRKINA No, sir, Katenka "Your Masha, of course, is a nice girl,
however, where can she compare with my Katenka! It's not very noticeable, though.
however, everyone knows that she is a little crooked.
DARYA SEMENOVNA How? Masha my crooked side! Do you have eyes
lopsided! I will order her to undress in front of you. Crooked-sided! That's great! Not
did you get it from the fact that your daughter is all on cotton wool?
KUBYRKINA what? Is my daughter on cotton wool? I have a wadded coat, not a daughter, my
daughter is not a salop. My daughter was born as she is, and she only wears a dress
for decency. She has no one to deceive.
DARIA SEMENOVNA Yes, and does not deceive; Zolotnikov for nothing that is not distant
mind, but not such a vulgar fool as to marry your daughter.
KUBYRKINA And why?
DARIA SEMENOVNA But because everyone knows that your daughter ran for
a hussar officer who laughed at her, and even abandoned her; and then poor
an orphan was slandered, who is not guilty either in soul or body. Noble
deed! Hussar himself told.
KUBYRKINA You dare say that to me.. You! And don't you think
everyone knows that your lopsided is in love with an Italian singer? Shame,
they say to look at her like she is sitting in an opera.. everyone laughs!
DARIA SEMENOVNA Do you seem to forget? I won't let you in
I command.
KUBYRKINA I won't go myself; and without you we will find, thank God, an acquaintance:
general's wife Akhlebova and better than you, may she find pleasure with me.
DARIA SEMENOVNA And I don’t hold back, mother, I don’t hold back!
KUBYRKINA Farewell, mother, I'll go for Katya. My leg is not with you
will be!
DARIA SEMENOVNA Good riddance!
KUBYRKINA And your daughter will not marry our fiancé .. she will not!
DARIA SEMENOVNA Yours will sit in the girls!
KUBYRKINA I won't let you joke with me; my uncle is a senator, I will find
protect yourself! Leave as soon as possible so it doesn't get worse!
DARIA SEMENOVNA Yes, I tell you, "Yes, I tell you," yes, this is unheard of rudeness! Yes you
don't mess with me like that! Farewell, I would not see you for a century!
EVENT 16.
ALEXANDER(from behind the chair) there she is! There she is! That's what she is!
One is crooked, the other is on cotton wool. One loves the hussars, the other the Italian" and both
They tell me I'm stupid! (running out from behind the chair) So no, not a fool! I don't
let me be fooled. I'll do it my way! I will choose the third, that is, the first,
not one or the other, but the third, that is, the first! Here she is, what kind of thing, here
she, here she is! (seeing Nastya) Yes, here she is! Wait, ma'am, let me
tell you two words.
NASTYA To me?
ALEXANDER Are you angry with me?
NASTYA For what?
ALEXANDER Well, well, admit that you are angry?
NASTYA Not at all.
ALEXANDER How! I showed you so much attention from the first time, and
then he turned to completely foreign subjects.
NASTYA So what!
ALEXAND R Let me first ask, do you have any relatives of the hussars?
NASTYA No.
ALEXANDER You don't sing Italian arias?
NASTYA I don't have a voice.
ALEXANDER What a precious girl you are! Nastasya "how about the father?
NASTYA Pavlovna.
ALEXANDER Nastenka! I solemnly offer my hand to you.
NASTYA Oh my god! Of course you are not healthy! Do not send for
doctor?
ALEXANDER You will be my doctor.
NASTYA Sorry, I don't have time" (wants to leave)
ALEXANDER(holding) No, decide first the fate of my life. Not
be embarrassed only; Tell me, would you be pleased if I married you?
NASTYA I wonder how you dare to talk to me like that. I'm poor
girl, but I will not allow cheeky jokes.
ALEXANDER Yes, please, I'm not kidding; I have a positive intention
marry you.
NASTYA Who told you that I should share this intention! Why are you
They took me to marry the first person I met? I know in Petersburg
rich suitors are not afraid of rejection, but for me there is much more in life
except for money. There, in the living room, they said now that you have two million, and,
I confess that on this occasion I heard so much that I felt disgusted.
However, it is not difficult for you to marry, just say the word "and the brides will come running
from all sides, and what I need is not a wallet, but a person whom I could
love and respect. Farewell!
ALEXANDER Nastasya Pavlovna! Listen to me.
NASTYA What for? You made a mistake in me: I'm not like the others "Where can you understand
the pride of a poor girl who, in the absence of other treasures, keeps
mental wealth? She will not exchange her soul for a luxury she does not need;
she can take pity and make her happy, because she values herself highly, but
never sell himself.
ALEXANDER So you refuse me, Nastasya Pavlovna?
NASTYA Decisively.
ALEXANDER And do you give up hope?
NASTYA Not the slightest.
ALEXANDER Listen, Nastasya Pavlovna, I am stupid, ridiculous, impudent, ignorant.
- whatever you want; only, really, I'm not a bad person. I have tender
heart; well, am I to blame; Well, believe me, I keep thinking how to get attached,
fall in love pretty, and then that's it! Soul something, soul something and whispers:
"Get attached, blockhead, get attached," - well, and here, as if on purpose, fate
teases. Now a hussar turns up, then some Italian, and I'm in the cold with
money! Well, what is this money to me, tell me yourself .. Everyone wants my money, but
me, no one wants me.
NASTYA(aside) He's really pathetic. (out loud) Look, don't
hurry up - you will find, maybe.
ALEXANDER Yes, I want you, Nastasya Pavlovna; you open my eyes. I
feel like a new person; take pity on my wealthy position.
NASTYA I told you my decisive answer. Rest assured that I
spoke to you out of conviction, and not out of empty coquetry. Don't be angry at
me; this lesson may be useful to you; when you get too forgetful
with some women, you will involuntarily remember that there are those who do not
only deserve, but even require respect.
(coldly sits down and leaves.)
PHENOMENON 17.
ALEXANDER Fu you, the abyss! It doesn't get any easier from time to time. Just now it was three
brides, and now none!

ALEXANDER I really don't understand what you want.
ZOLOTNIKOV here she is!
KUBYRKINA ( enters) She is already here, but what am I? I'll take it out, I won't leave
together. Marya Petrovna, I left a handkerchief in your room. Let
get.
MASHA(aside) How obnoxious! It came just in time! (out loud) Now
I'll bring
KUBYRKINA Sorry to bother you! (leaves)
KATIA(enters) Alexander Vasilievich, what have I learned? you wanted again
deceive me: you are marrying Masha. It's too much" It won't work for you
for nothing - my second cousin will stand up for me, will fight with you on
pistols, kill, certainly kill!
ZOLOTNIKOV This one is good too.
DARIA SEMENOVNA(enters) So it is, she has already picked up a good fellow: and I
for what? Katerina Ivanovna, your mother is calling you.
KATIA(aside) She came at the right time, so that she "(out loud) Where is she?
DARIA SEMENOVNA It seems to have gone here, I will take you (to the side)
I won't leave both.
ALEXANDER Hear, father, what a story.
ZOLOTNIKOV Be quiet!
NASTYA(walking across the stage) Ah, I thought you were gone.
ALEXANDER No, I'm going... I'm going." Nastasya Pavlovna, I'm in despair.
Kubyrkin, Katya, Masha, Darya Semyonovna run out of different doors and
rush at Alexander, patter and almost simultaneously.
DARIA SEMENOVNA No, it can't stay like this!
KUBYRKINA This should be explained!
MASHA Yes, please tell the truth!
KATIA I have suffered enough for you!
DARIA SEMENOVNA Did you marry my Mashenka?
KUBYRKINA Did you marry my Katenka?
DARIA SEMENOVNA I won't let you hurt my daughter.
KUBYRKINA And I will complain; My uncle is a senator.
KATIA So why are you bulging your eyes?
MASHA What are you standing in your tracks for? Speak up, explain!
ZOLOTNIKOV(running out) Sasha, Sasha! Are you here? Sasha, we are gone!
Dead! Trouble has happened! I'm bad!
ALEXANDER(with fear) Father! What happened to you?
ZOLOTNIKOV Bursted! Bursted!
ALEXANDER Who burst?
ZOLOTNIKOV Tambov.
ALL Tambov!
ALEXANDER What, an earthquake?
ZOLOTNIKOV That is, not Tambov, but the Tambov ransom, the pledges are all gone -
after all, two million was "all my fortune! Here is a letter received.
there was only one village left, and that one was under the hammer "Sasha! We have nothing more.
ALEXANDER Well, thank God! And I was so scared: I thought that with you
cholera has come! Well, why scream like that? You will not have money, but I
what, what am I on?
NASTYA(listening) Yes, he is a noble man!
MASHA Ah, poor Katerina Ivanovna!
KATIA Ah, unfortunate Marya Petrovna!
KUBYRKINA I feel sorry for you, Vasily Petrovich, here! You can say"
unpleasant contraction.
KATIA Kontrdans, mother.
KUBYRKINA Does not matter; you just have to humble yourself before Providence "your son
young; now he will settle down, as he marries Marya Petrovna.
DARIA SEMENOVNA No, your son wooed Katerina Ivanovna; I have her
I don’t beat off suitors - let them live happily.
ZOLOTNIKOV Yes, let me ask: who is marrying Sasha?
MASHA Of course not me!
KATIA Yes, and not me!
ZOLOTNIKOV(to Nastya) Isn't it you?
ALEXANDER No, father, she refused me and the rich one! Let's get out of here
it's time to take up the mind, money made my head spin, such
went crazy in the head. Now you have to be human. What are you
you think I'm a blockhead, a chair, some kind of beast, I don't feel what I do to you
must? You did your best for me, thank God, now mine
turn. I will provide for you, feed you, go to anything, to the store, to
day laborers, shoemakers, artisans, farm laborers, journalists,
writers! (to the audience) Gentlemen, does anyone have a seat? Without protection, you
you know, it's hard. Do not refuse, I will justify: honest, kind, devoted,

ZOLOTNIKOV Well, let's go.
NASTYA Wait a minute, Alexander Vasilievich, I'm to blame for you.
ALEXANDER You?
NASTYA I offended you just now, because I did not know your nobility
feelings.
ALEXANDER Do not speak, do not speak, otherwise the heart will go up again

ALEXAND R What do I hear? .. Nastenka "Nastasya pavlovna!
ZOLOTNIKOV My daughter! Hug me" Well, and you hug me, only in
last time.
KATIA How touching!

happen to you?
ZOLOTNIKOV Yes, if you please, mother, it didn’t happen, but it could
just happen.
