Dear Jenny ! Greetings from warm Turkey. I have prepared and carried out an English festival at the end of the academic year one month ago.Our students showed their abilities of English before the principles and their parents.They have played the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs play and sang songs.We have carried out some short sketches as well.If your all audience know English well you can use a bit longer plays like Snow White but if not it may bother the audience as it did in our country.So you have to add some songs into your show.
We have used these songs:
Big World -by Emilia
Lemon Tree - by Fool �s Garden
Life - by Desree
I �m alive -by Celine Dion
Complcated - by Avril Lavigne
Dancing Queen -by Abba
Human - by the Killers
Lucky - by Lucky Twice
I �m Gonna Be (500 miles )- by The Proclaimers
I have found the instrumental and colorfully animated (some of them were like that) karaoke videos on youtube and projected them on the wall behind the stage.The students danced and sang their song in front.You can create some musicals as well using these songs.For example the song Lucky can be suitebla for a musical.
And I have changed some Nasreddin and some other jokes into play.I have used some Turkish in them in order to make the audience laugh.You can have a look at this site that includes Nasreddin jokes.
