Charlie Brown - maybe parents can dress up as the characters and wander around the stage wondering where they are supposed to be for the show that never happened. Lisa Burns and/or Jake Miller can be there trying to guide them with very unhelpful stage directions.

A news format ( maybe like the Daily show format or SNL's Weekend Update ) giving a news report on the experiences of the Class of 2023 including trends, music, and issues and topics in the news over their high school experience. Everything from the climate marches to Coronavirus, to George Floyd, to Harry Styles and Olivio Rodrigo could be touched along with all the typical things related to the high school experience at GFS. Their epic high school experience could be honored with familiar and distinctly nuanced  things.

A skit in which the class has a reunion and no one recognizes each other and then they all put on masks and suddenly everyone looks familiar.

# data[].attributes.body
Parody ourselves (some of us) how we chose GFS for its values and Quaker teachings; then when our kids come home over the years and propose that we 1) start to compost, we balk at the inconvenience, 2) propose that we shrink our carbon footprints through buying electric cars, getting solar panels, etc., we make excuses about costs, inconvenience, etc., 3) when they point out classmates' parents super interesting careers as artists and demolitions and furniture creators, we scoff 'why doesn't anyone have a real job,' and then we scratch our heads as our kids emerge from GFS as seniors blaming our generation for the world's problems while we laud the liberal education we provided, and we close with a discussion that shows we are starting to implement some of their wise suggestions acting like they were our ideas... Seems like something the kids would appreciate and maybe even laugh at if done right.

Can we assemble a “house band”? We need to find our musician senior parents!

# data[].attributes.body
This would be a no dialogue skit. Basically, one couple at a time would dance onto the stage wearing an outfit reflecting their era (60's, 70's, 80's etc.). They would dance a bit and get busy and affectionate with each other until a teacher would aggressively pull them apart and drag them off stage. Then we would have dating in 2023 where the kids are on their own headphones dancing alone and looking at their phones as they dance. The teachers would come on stage and try to push them together while they resist.

# data[].attributes.body
Like the actual SNL where we have a host.  The host could be someone impersonating Rob Goodman, for example.  We can then have various skits that are easily connected.

WORLD PERCUSSION ENSEMBLE: Rocio, Bill McCormack,

# data[].attributes.body
A parody of a World Percussion Ensemble class with a choral performance. It would be nice to recruit parents of students that have been part of this ensemble throughout the years or anyone with percussion or choral experience but we'll do our best!  We would perform "Barasu Ayo" a chant to the Orisha Elegua, in Yoruba, Shawn Hennessy taught it to the group while in middle school. I have a recorded version of the very short song in Yoruba (with two part harmony) and the lyrics, Shawn has agreed to give us a hand. If we can't play the drums, we might just have to get a recording and sing with it while "drummers" fake play. We could dress up as our kids, in white like they do, someone should definitely impersonate Shawn too. Here's a link of the song with it's two part harmony:

# data[].attributes.body
Revisiting the things that we use to love to do with the kids when they were little. We take them to the zoo or the please touch museum or to get ice cream, but they are now way too big and it is awkward and embarrassing - the parents basically push back and say that it is about them and their wishes (at least it should be some of the time).

Turning the table around.  Our phones are projected and we are being crazy - slang idea added - us ignoring them.  Teachers are doing inappropriate things that the kids don't even see because they are on the phone.

PARENTS COMPLAINING ABOUT TEEN ISSUES AT UNCLE BOBBIE'S:

# data[].attributes.body
while parents unconsciously mirror the issues they complain about or display issues the kids complain about (a helicopter mom or a dad who thinks he's hip), and kids hanging out at the Open Door complaining about lame parents, GFS issues, etc. - all kids' dialogue is by text shown to audience on a screen; parent texts one of the kids, gets a one word response and the parents commiserate while the kids make fun of the parent text...etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Thinking of all of the ways that this adds a layer of being embarrassing.

Again, a la SNL - should it be someone contemporary or someone that parents think is hip that they listen to and share an interest in alongside their kids??
