          "The Tale of the City Mouse and the Country Mouse" - 
                            retold in Script and Songs by Betsy Lee Bailey

          This 15 minute Mini Classroom Musical casts two girls in the lead roles.  That is rather unusual for Children's Theater!  The script calls for a flexible cast of 10-16 students with the rest of the class singing the songs and providing sound effects and playing rhythm instruments.  Available separately for Digital Download are the Script, Score Packet including Lead Sheets of Songs, Accompaniment and Guide Vocal Tracks, and Lesson Plans Packet with Language Arts worksheets, acting games, ideas for teaching songs, and Song Sheets. Activities are designed to meet many of the Common Core Objectives for ELA. This piece is a little more challenging because some of the dialogue is written in regional dialect.

Full List of Songs:  01.Overture - accompaniment   02.I Love the City Life - accompaniment   03.The Country Mouse - accompaniment   04.I Love the City Life - Vocals   05.The Country Mouse - Vocal
