Class Play: "Whose Planet Is It Anyway?"
On a faraway planet, King and Queen Doof rule over a lovely volcanic planet and a kingdom of spunky blue-faced people. The giant black mustaches of the males are of particular attraction. However, the planet has some unpleasant occurrences, such as massive earthquakes and unbearable heat waves. Fortunately, it's that "special time." Every ten years, the Doof's spin the Wheel of Fate to determine which planet they will conquer and colonize next. The royal family, particularly Prince Seikooc, Prince Azzip, and Princess Klim, are especially excited because that means they get to compete in the conquering games called, "Whose Planet Is It Anyway?" to defeat the residing inhabitants and win their planet. Well, the wheel is spun and guess where it lands: Planet Earth.
Although the aliens' proposal to compete in games for the fate of Earth seems absurd, humans have no choice. With their likeliest finalists for the competition proving to be a bunch of morons, the US leadership calls on the Greek Gods to defend humanity and save planet earth from the Doofs. Zeus, Aphrodite, Artemis, and Ares descend from Mount Olympus to compete on behalf of the earthlings and save them from an alien invasion. Through physical battles, archery competitions, and beauty contests, the Greek Gods are able to defeat the Doofs at their own game. However, a romantic betrayal undermines Earth's victory and the Doofs attack anyway. With teamwork, special powers, and a little creativity, the minor gods and Hades, who have been in the crowd all along cheering on the now-tired Gods of Olympus, are able to defeat the aliens in their powerful space ships and save Earth from domination.
Imagined, produced, performed by the students, Whose Planet Is It Anyway? was a fantastic hit filled with action, romance, humor, engaging acting, and awesome creativity. When deciding on our play concept, we narrowed the ideas down to three: a story about an alien invasion, a mystery about the Greek Gods, or an action adventure about a gameshow. Unable to choose just one idea, we decided to combine all three. The result: Whose Planet Is It Anyway!
