Hints:
★ What will make this skit funny is if the actors can be comfortable with waiting to say their lines so the actions of a calm pool setting, the chaos of the peacock running around and swimming and the times when the peacock is being cute can be displayed without words. If you can, make the “pool” be the level of the audience, in front of the stage.
This skit is sold separately and is also sold as part of the MAD Society Variety Show Bundle and the Year Long Mega Bungle titled and themed “Caribbean Sun.” It was also created to be able to reuse some of the costumes for the Spring Play in the Year Long Mega Bundle which is titled “Sherlock’s Caribbean Cruise.” For this skit in particular, the Peacock & Lifeguard costumes (and possibly the others) can be used for the characters for Sherlock’s Caribbean Cruise.
