Created by

This file contains several Reader's Theatre adaptations of "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allen Poe. There are versions for 12 voices, 6 voices, 4 voices, and 3 voices.

Retirement Skit and Senior Birthday Skit

Created by

Cindy Ciuba

Two humorous skits for a retirement party, or a "milestone" birthday celebration. One skit can be preformed by students and the other skit is meant for an "adult" party. There are 4 characters in each script, but additional characters can be easily added. I have used these scripts for teacher retirement gatherings, 60th birthday parties, and other events honoring a senior citizen. The skit is always well received!
