Parody Hilarity with The Bible Players
As long as there has been music, there have been great parody songs. Together we will study the elements that we want to include in a parody song. We will look at the classic parodies of the master Weird Al Yankovic and talk about what makes them great. We will discuss how prayers and Jewish traditions have evolved over time to make them more accessible and exciting for folks. After picking our songs to parody we will write the elements of the song, rehearse, and perform them.
