12 minute comedy
Phil is an active, sprightly 81-year old man who lives with his dog Bounder. When Phil’s old rusty refrigerator breaks, his daughter Dorothy persuades him to look for a new one. Phil makes a surprising decision at the appliance store. The play ends with father and daughter singing a duet, “You Never Know.” Funny, endearing, and sweet!
This play can be performed with puppets!
If you’re going to use puppets: Darlene recommends human-arm and mouth puppets but you can use whichever technique you wish.
Listen to the song, “You Never Know” which is an optional ending to the play:
