“Little Bunny Foo Foo” is published by YouthPLAYS

Hot off the press! YouthPLAYS has just published Stacey Lane’s Little Bunny Foo Foo. In this easy-to-produce, short play with a flexible, entirely gender-neutral cast, a bat-wielding terror of a hare looms large in the lives of a community of frightened field mice. After receiving non-stop bops from the infamous and inaccurately named Little Bunny Foo Foo, the mice seek help from a slick city mouse. The mouse, accurately named Big Cheese, arrives with tall tales of past bravery. Big Cheese is insulted to use its epic heroic skills on a cutesy-wootsie little bunny… that is until it meets the real deal. After suffering blows to its ego and its noggin, Big Cheese flees the scene, leaving the mice to solve their own problem. By pretending to be a powerful fairy, the littlest mouse outsmarts the big, bad bunny. To buy a copy of this newly-published script, preview a substantial portion of Little Bunny Foo Foo, and get production rights to perform this comedic play at your elementary school, junior high, children’s theatre, acting class, or theatre camp, visit www.youthplays.com or call 424-703-5315.
