The Chief's Dilemma- a fun skit

I promised I would post the skit "The Chief's Dilemma".  It's a great skit, especially for a large group of boys, or boys and leaders.  The best thing is that it has a part for everyone; from the boys that love to perform in front of a crowd, to the shyest boys in your pack.  Got a boy that refuses to speak?  There's a part for that!
Here it is, in all it's glory...

The Chief's Dilemma

Characters: Sitting Bear, Standing Dog, Curtains (2), Darkness, Sun, Crazy Pony, Sac-O-Juice, Trail, Hours, Narrator

Equipment: Pitcher, Rope, Stamps, Broom, Banana, Chalk, Bell, "Mortgage" Paper, Pail, Salt shakers (2), ID signs for names of characters, Box of Matches, Flat Iron, Roll of toilet paper

Arrangement: Place props on stage floor where they will be used. As the play opens, the sun is lying on the floor. The “curtains” stand center stage with their backs to the audience. The “Trail” stands at the back of the stage. Tape toilet paper to the back wall. Players keep their ID signs in plain sight. Players carry out actions indicated by the italicized words. Give time for action before reading next line.

NARRATOR: “The CURTAINS part. Our play is on. (Curtains side step slowly to opposite sides of the stage) It is early morning and the SUN rises. (Sun stands up) Beside the Teepee (toilet paper taped to the back wall) we find CHIEF SITTING BEAR. (Chief growls like a bear and sits down) The CHIEF has a beautiful daughter named SAC-O-JUICE (SOJ steps forward carrying a plastic bag with a juice can in it) The CHIEF has a problem. The evil warrior, STANDING DOG, (SD stands and barks like a dog) has asked the CHIEF's permission to marry SAC-O-JUICE. The CHIEF sent for his daughter. Here comes the Indian princess sweeping across the clearing (SOC sweeps in with a broom) to her father's Teepee (toilet paper on a wall or chair). SAC-O-JUICE does not want to marry STANDING DOG because she doesn't like him. STANDING DOG is very insistent because he holds the mortgage on the CHIEF's Teepee (holds the mortgage payment sign next to the TP on the wall). CHIEF SITTING BEAR states he must study the signs (picks up signs and studies them) to see if their marriage will be a happy one. SAC-O-JUICE appeals (peels a banana) to STANDING DOG, while SITTING BEAR was poring (pouring with a pitcher) over the signs. “Please go away,” she said, “for you know I love CRAZY PONY!” But her appeal was fruitless. (SD eats the banana and hands peel back to her) The long delay is making STANDING DOG very angry, so he stamps his foot (licks stamps and sticks them to his shoe's sole). The HOURS pass slowly (HOURS walk very slowly across the stage) Suddenly the sound of horses' hooves ring out (ring bell) and CRAZY PONY tears up the trail! (CP tears up TRAIL sign) SAC-O-JUICE turns a little pale (turns over a pail) for she knows CRAZY PONY has come to save her. CRAZY PONY crosses the clearing (CP makes a chalk cross on the floor) and stands by her side. He presses her hand (presses hand with iron). STANDING DOG flies into a rage (flaps his arms). He and CRAZY PONY assault each other (have a lively duel shaking salt on each other). Soon STANDING DOG gives up the match (SD takes match from the box and gives it to CP) acknowledging defeat and sorrowfully goes away. “Now you are mine,” said CRAZY PONY, and he led SAC-O-JUICE away (puts rope around her waist and leads her off). The HOURS pass (HOURS cross the stage) the SUN sets (SUN sits down) and DARKNESS falls (player falls) and our play is ended.”

I hope you have as much fun with this skit as my pack has!
