The Gang is Back! | |
No Stage wash just the spotlight to start with | |
Near the end of the Opening Act, “Come on Get Happy”, the lights suddenly go out. Someone from the “Come on Get Happy” act yells “Not again!!” | |
Someone at the A/V board: ***ask Steve about the correct equipment for this line*** “Somebody swiped the lighting cable (or cord or whatever)!” | |
Val (at the side of the stage, with a spotlight on her, holding her cell phone and appearing to make a phone call). | |

FRED (Off stage) Hello. Mystery Manor Retirement Community for Aging Detectives, Fred Jones speaking. | FRED |
VAL (on stage on phone) Hello? Is this Mystery Inc? | FRED VAL |

FRED: You bet your Scooby Snacks we are! | FRED VAL |
SHAGGY Like ... we used to be! SHAGGY | FRED SHAGGY VAL |
VAL: My name is Val Coulman. I’m calling from Bethel Church at Vista Pointe in Medford. Something strange is going on here and we need someone to investigate. We need your help to figure this mystery out! | FRED VAL |
VELMA Mysteries are our specialty. VELMA | FRED VAL VELMA |
VAL: Oh good. How soon can you be here? VAL | FRED VAL |
FRED: (To the Gang in an aside): Okay, Gang, time to bail on Bingo. It looks like we’ve finally got another mystery on our hands. | FRED |
-Daphne: Groovy! | |
-Velma: Jinkies! | |
-Shaggy: Like, no way man! | |
-Scooby: Rooby Roo! | |
FRED: (To Val): We’ll be right there. FRED | FRED |

(First one and pause it!) | |
(Doors open - STAGE WASH ON) | |
They exit the van, except Velma, gingerly and unsteadily and in the following order: | |
FRED (gets out first and looks around at the audience) Well, Gang, it’s good to be back! | FRED |
DAPHNE (exiting gingerly, holding her back) It sure is, Freddy, but Jeepers, that van sure is hard on my back! | DAPHNE FRED |
SHAGGY (exiting with Scooby right behind him) Like, that trip was hard on my appetite! Fred, man, you should have stopped at that triple-decker sardine sandwich food truck! | DAPHNE FRED SHAGGY |
SCOOBY Reah, rood ruck! (Yeah, food truck!) | DAPHNE FRED SCOOBY SHAGGY |
DAPHNE: (fixing her hair) Did you have to have the windows down in the Mystery Machine, Freddy? Oh, my hairdo! | DAPHNE FRED SCOOBY SHAGGY |
FRED: Well, Gang, we haven’t stumbled onto a mystery in quite some time! FRED | DAPHNE FRED SCOOBY SHAGGY |
SHAGGY: Like, the only thing we stumble on nowadays is our own two feet! | DAPHNE SCOOBY SHAGGY |
SCOOBY: Hee hee hee hee Or four feet! SCOOBY | DAPHNE SCOOBY SHAGGY |
DAPHNE: Can someone go get Velma out of the van?! | DAPHNE SHAGGY |
(The others “rush” over to the van to help Velma out). | |
VELMA Jinkies! I’d forgotten how difficult it is to get out of the Mystery Machine. VELMA | DAPHNE SHAGGY VELMA |
SHAGGY: Like, I wish I’d forgotten to come along! | DAPHNE SHAGGY |
DAPHNE: (Looking around) Jeepers! What kind of a mystery could possibly be going on in a church as nice as this? DAPHNE | DAPHNE SHAGGY |
Offstage a Sasquatch moan…. | |
moan1.mp3 0:00:00 | |
SHAGGY: (Nervous giggle) Oh man, like, either that’s my empty stomach or there’s a monster in here! | SHAGGY |
Shaggy and Scooby shaking nervously. | |
SCOOBY Reah, ronster! (Yeah, monster!) | SCOOBY SHAGGY |
VELMA Don’t be ridiculous! Churches don’t have monsters. | SCOOBY SHAGGY VELMA |
SHAGGY: (Does his Shaggy laugh) But some churches DO have the Holy Ghost! SHAGGY | SCOOBY SHAGGY VELMA |
SCOOBY: Reah, Roly Rhost! (Yeah, Holy Ghost!) (Shaggy and Scooby laugh at the joke). SCOOBY | SCOOBY VELMA |
DAPHNE We should find Val and ask her what’s going on around here. | DAPHNE VELMA |
FRED Right, Daphne! C’mon Gang. Looks like we’ve finally got another case to crack! FRED | DAPHNE FRED VELMA |
VELMA: That’s just your knees cracking, Fred. VELMA | DAPHNE VELMA |
Val enters. | |
VAL Wow, you made good time! With your help, there may be hope for this show yet. We are putting on our annual Dinner and a Show tonight. This year’s theme is That’s So 70’s. Unfortunately, we’ve been having a series of mishaps during rehearsals, like props disappearing, electrical equipment failing, costumes being misplaced | DAPHNE VAL |
DAPHNE: Oh no. Not the costumes. DAPHNE | DAPHNE VAL |
VAL: Not to mention eerie howls and unsettling growls. | VAL |
SCOOBY Reerie rowls?! (Eerie howls?!) SCOOBY | SCOOBY VAL |
SHAGGY Unsettling growls?! (Nervous laugh) More unsettling than my empty stomach?? | SHAGGY VAL |
VAL: Possibly (winks at the audience): We really need this show to come off well tonight since this is our only yearly fundraiser for Creative Arts and we’ve got big plans! | SHAGGY VAL |
VELMA Jinkies, the only yearly fundraiser? Well, it looks like we’ve got a righteous riddle on our hands. VELMA | SHAGGY VAL VELMA |
DAPHNE Yeah, a real ministerial mystery! DAPHNE | DAPHNE SHAGGY VAL |
SHAGGY: Or, like, an ecclesiastical enigma. Hoo-hoo, how-hoo. Right, Scoob? Get it? | SHAGGY VAL |
SCOOBY Reah, reah. (Yeah, yeah.) Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee (snickering laugh). | SCOOBY SHAGGY VAL |
VAL: Oh…and I’d better mention that some people have claimed to see Sasquatch around the building… | SCOOBY SHAGGY VAL |
SHAGGY AND SCOOBY: (together) S-s-s-sasquatch!?! R-r-r-rasquatch!?! SHAGGY SCOOBY | SCOOBY SHAGGY VAL |
VAL: Anyhow…I’ve got to get backstage. I’ll leave you to it. (Val exits). VAL | VAL |
DAPHNE Freddy, do you think there really is a Sasquatch? DAPHNE | DAPHNE |
FRED I don’t know, but we need to help Val solve this mystery. C’mon, gang! FRED | FRED |
The four of them exit to one side (not Scooby). | |
Scooby sees a tall shadow on the other side of the stage. Then hears a Sasquatch moan. | |

FRED Okay, gang, it’s time to split up and start looking for clues. | FRED |
DAPHNE (looks at audience, makes a face, and sidles up to Fred). And that means me and you, right Freddy? | DAPHNE FRED |
FRED: Hey, where’s Scoob? FRED | DAPHNE FRED |
SHAGGY (looks around) Scooby Doo, where are you?! SHAGGY | DAPHNE SHAGGY |
VELMA Where has that chow hound gone now? VELMA | DAPHNE VELMA |
DAPHNE: Probably to the kitchen, looking for chocolate cheeseburgers. DAPHNE | DAPHNE |
SCOOBY (runs in, terrified, yelling “Raggyyyy!” (“Shaggy!”) He runs up to Shaggy and rests his front paws on his chest). | SCOOBY |
SCOOBY: (panicked voice) Ri raw rit! Ri raw rit! (I saw it! I saw it!) (Pointing back toward offstage). | SCOOBY |
FRED Hey, what’s wrong with Scooby Doo? FRED | FRED SCOOBY |
Scooby covers his eyes with one paw and points back toward offstage with the other paw, while whimpering. | |
SCOOBY: Ri rollowed a rall radow rinto the rallway… (I followed a tall shadow into the hallway…) (raises arms up into the air to indicate tall as he’s speaking) | SCOOBY |
SHAGGY Like, you mean you followed a tall shadow into the hallway?… | SCOOBY SHAGGY |
SCOOBY: Reah, reah. (Yeah, yeah.) (Gesturing Sasquatch walking down the hallway with something in his hand (that he’s taken from the in-between scenes act) and going into a room in the hallway. Also making a Sasquatch moan). He describes this by “Scooby speech” and is talking and gesturing quickly. | SCOOBY SHAGGY |
SHAGGY: And it was walking down the hallway like this (mimics Scooby’s impression of Sasquatch), carrying something in his hand and now he’s in one of the rooms off of the hallway? | SCOOBY SHAGGY |
SCOOBY: Reah, reah! (Yeah, yeah!) | SCOOBY SHAGGY |
DAPHNE What did this tall walking shadow look like? DAPHNE | DAPHNE SCOOBY SHAGGY |
SCOOBY: Rigfoot!! (Bigfoot!!) | SCOOBY SHAGGY |
SHAGGY: (Nervous laugh) Zoinks!! Bigfoot!?! | SCOOBY SHAGGY |
SCOOBY: Reah! (Yeah!) (frightened whimpering) | SCOOBY SHAGGY |
VELMA (Melodramatic, scoffing tone) From a scientific perspective, there is no formally recognized biological classification or scientific description of Sasquatch (also known as Bigfoot) because its existence has not been scientifically proven. | SCOOBY SHAGGY VELMA |
SHAGGY: Yeah, but, like, does Bigfoot know that?! | SCOOBY SHAGGY VELMA |
SCOOBY: (who has been sniffing curiously at Velma) Roo’s ris?! (Who’s this?!). | SCOOBY SHAGGY VELMA |
DAPHNE But why would Bigfoot be trying to ruin this show? DAPHNE | DAPHNE SCOOBY SHAGGY VELMA |
FRED Good question, Daphne. Gang, it’s time for us to start solving the secret of this sabotaging Sasquatch! Velma, you take Shag and Scoob and search the hallways and Daphne and I will investigate the strange occurrences that Val mentioned. (Daphne smiles at the audience, then at Fred, puts her arm through his and Daphne and Fred exit the stage). FRED | FRED SCOOBY SHAGGY VELMA |
VELMA: Okay, you two, let’s go find this supposed Sasquatch! | SCOOBY SHAGGY VELMA |
SHAGGY: Like, no way, man! I’m not going anywhere near Tall, Dark and Hairy. | SCOOBY SHAGGY VELMA |
SCOOBY: Reah, ro ray! (Yeah, no way!) (Scooby starts whimpering, faking an injured paw). | SCOOBY SHAGGY VELMA |
VELMA: Oh brother. What a ham! Would you do it for a Scooby Snack? | SCOOBY SHAGGY VELMA |
SHAGGY AND SCOOBY: (Shaking their heads no) Uh-uh! | SCOOBY SHAGGY VELMA |
VELMA: Would you do it for two Scooby Snacks? | SCOOBY SHAGGY VELMA |
Shaggy and Scooby look at each other, then at Velma | |
SHAGGY: Three! (holds up 3 fingers). | SCOOBY SHAGGY VELMA |
Velma “tosses” Scooby Snacks at them and they gobble them up loudly. | |
SCOOBY: Rooby Roo!!! SCOOBY | SCOOBY SHAGGY VELMA |
VELMA: Now let’s get going, you overgrown chickens. (They start exiting) VELMA | SHAGGY VELMA |

We’ve had a delay … travel plans … Andrea, I told you it was a left turn! (static) we seem to have detoured to the wrong franchise system. … Are rerouting … anticipate arriving soon.

VAL Yes! (high fives PD) I can do that! I know what button that is! VAL | VAL |
PD Oh, thank goodness. I thought he was going to ask me to do it. | PD |
PB Captain, do really think that’s such a good idea? I mean, they look pretty sick, and the Romulan flu is going around. Maybe we should ask Pastor Daniel what he thinks. | PB PD |
PD: Okay, seriously guys – I’m a youth pastor, not a doctor! | PB PD |
PB: Dude, chill out. I know you’re not a doctor, you’re a youth pastor at MY church. I was going to ask you because you have volunteers. Do you let sick people volunteer in the youth group? | PB PD |
PD: Oh, sorry. Uh, no, no I don’t. I’ll just go back to my buttons. PD | PB PD |
PB: Hey, everyone, I just want to apologize for the situation we’re in. I thought showing the kids the Veggie Tale movie “The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything” was a good idea. I never thought they’d form a mutiny and take over the ship. (breaks 4th wall and addresses audience) Of course, if I’d had more volunteers this never would have happened. But I digress … PB | PB |

DAPHNE Golly, we’re lucky we found it, Freddy. But why is this oak leaf sticking out of it…? | DAPHNE FRED |
FRED: Hey, why would an oak leaf be in a Bible? Let me see that, Daphne. (He takes the Bible, opens it and pauses for a brief moment as he looks at the highlighted verse). Get a load of this! (Hands Bible back to Daphne). | DAPHNE FRED |
DAPHNE: Jeepers, looks like someone tried to highlight a verse with berry juice. Do you think it was Sasquatch, Freddy? | DAPHNE FRED |
FRED: You bet! Who else could it be but that Bible-swiping Bigfoot? | DAPHNE FRED |
DAPHNE: But what’s so groovy about this verse: Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God? DAPHNE | DAPHNE FRED |

GameShowIntro.mp3 0:00:00 | |
HOST Hi, everybody and welcome to the game show debut of TO TELL A SLEUTH. I’m your host, Wink (winks) Wonderville. With us today, live on our set, I will introduce you to three guests who claim to be a famous sleuth. It’s your job, audience, to ferret out the facts from the fiction and cast your final vote in TO TELL A SLEUTH. | HOST |
Let’s meet our guests. Each of these per-cep-tive ladies claims to be none other than VELMA DINKLEY, famed clue-calculator from Mystery Inc.! | |
They will each have to answer a series of questions curated to clue us in on the “real” Velma’s vibe. Let’s play! | |
HOST: Ladies, would each of you please state your full name for our audience. HOST | HOST |
VELMA1 My name is Velma Daisy Dinkley. VELMA1 | VELMA1 |
(Rubs glasses on her shirt to clean them then places them atop her head) | |
VELMA2 My name is Velma Rose Dinkley. VELMA2 | VELMA2 |
(Looks toward audience members over the top of her glasses, trying to make detective-style squinted eye contact.) | |
VELMA3 My name is Velma Petunia Dinkley. VELMA3 | VELMA3 |
(Shyly waves to the audience, then pushes her glasses up further onto her nose/face.) | |
*SCOOBY DOO and SHAGGY can be getting into their place “behind the scenes”. Their net to catch Sasquatch should always be visible. | |
HOST Velma#1, How’d you get hooked on solving mysteries? | HOST |
VELMA1 Well, Wink, I’ve always been an avid reader. I just got tired of reading about the wonders of the world and decided to debunk some urban legends myself. With the help of my friends, of course. VELMA1 | HOST VELMA1 |
HOST: Velma#2, How old were you when you went on your first mystery with the gang? | HOST |
VELMA2 I was probably 15 years old. (the other two Velmas roll their eyes) What? (primps her hair) I know – hard to believe it wasn’t just yesterday. VELMA2 | HOST VELMA2 |
HOST: And Velma#3, what’s it like solving mysteries with a dog on the team? | HOST |
VELMA3 That, Scooby! He is truly an irreplaceable part of our Mystery Inc., gang. Why, without his keen senses we might never have stumbled upon many of the villains’ clues. VELMA3 | HOST VELMA3 |
*SCOOBY DOO and SHAGGY pat each other on the shoulder or pantomime- react to all the comments the VELMAs make. | |
VELMA2 (interrupts): and don’t forget how many Scooby-snacks we had to lug around to keep his nose on the case. Sheesh! He’s such a chow-hound. | |
HOST: Okay, thanks, Velmas. Back to Velma#1. The other Velmas mentioned the need for keen senses on the case. If you misplaced, say, your glasses, what would you do to find them in order to keep cracking clues? HOST | HOST |
VELMA1 I actually don’t know where they are right now! | VELMA1 |
VELMA2 Jinkies, they’re right here, dear. | VELMA1 VELMA2 |
(assists Velma#1 by pointing/ reaching for the glasses on #1’s head) | |
VELMA1: Oh, thanks. Uh, what was the question again? VELMA1 | VELMA1 VELMA2 |
HOST: Uh, never mind. Velma#2, did the Gang ever think about doingsomething other than solving mysteries? | |
VELMA2: We sure did. Just before we got our big break, Fred was talking with a talent scout about putting together a rock band. We’d be “Mysteries Five”. The gang would all be sleuthing for clues to solve cases in between gigs. VELMA2 | VELMA2 |
HOST Woah, far-out facts Velma! (turns to address audience) Can you picture it folks? What a groovy group to have play at your beach bash or prom, especially when they drove up in their Chevy G-body panel van in 1975...(gesture toward the van cut-out) generously donated by Mike’s Mechanical Marvels on 8th and K Street. And, Velma#3. What would you say has been the most difficult mystery to solve? | HOST |
*SASQUATCH becomes “visible” to SCOOBY DOO and SHAGGY and they react with nervous movements, forming a silent “plan” to catch him. SASQUATCH is also “behind the scenes” nearer to the HOST and copying his actions/ body language. | |
VELMA3 Hmmm. The most difficult mystery to solve has to be when we all stayed in a haunted mansion to help out Scooby when he was going to inherit a million dollars. There were phantom sightings everywhere and almost all of our traps misfired! One mysterious mishap even sent Scooby and Shaggy flying on top of a washing machine. Thankfully those slippery spooks ended up in the suds. VELMA3 | HOST VELMA3 |
HOST: So, what happened to Scooby’s inheritance? | HOST |
VELMA1 (interrupts Velma#3) That cash inheritance was a wash! Collectable Confederate bills. If it wasn’t for those meddling memorabilia collectors, Scooby would have been set for life. VELMA1 | HOST VELMA1 |
HOST: Well, folks, this wraps up our guest Q and A segment. It’s time for you to get down with these clue-filled comments, then vote for the REAL Velma. And you can lay it on me, right after this commercial break. HOST | HOST |

HOST: At your tables you’ll find blank ballots to mark a number on. As a team, vote for Velma#1, Velma#2, or Velma#3. We’ll reveal the real Velma when we come back! (Gesture toward the AV booth as if to cut to a commercial. Hand slicing- wag under the chin.) | HOST |

VELMA But he got one look at the other acts and was afraid that you wouldn’t welcome someone as tone deaf and frightening as he was. So he’s been hiding out, secretly trying to improve his act in order to fit in around here. VELMA | VELMA |
VAL If we’d known that sooner, we could have headed off this heartache. You are welcome in God’s family here whether you think you have talent or not! Here at Bethel Church, we are all family! There will be a spot for you. It’ll have to be a BIG spot … but we’ll find it. | VAL |
SCOOBY (who has been looking over the sheet music of the song, starts singing “Re rare ramily” (We are family). SCOOBY | SCOOBY VAL |
