 Super Happy Awesome News is presented through special
arrangement with and all authorized materials supplied by Beat By
 Beat Press www.bbbpress.com

 Super Happy Awesome News was written to be rehearsed remotely,
 performed virtually, and shared with audiences online. This show was
created during the COVID-19 pandemic, and was made specifically for all
 the young performers and communities affected by this unprecedented
 circumstance. It was written to offer kids a space to process and express
 their emotions, and help the young performers feel heard and
 understood.The Central Valley cast all recorded their scenes individually
 and have never even been in a room together as a group!

SYNOPSIS:
JOEY welcomes viewers to the Super Happy Awesome News broadcast – Joey’s new
show that only features extremely happy news! (“Super Happy Awesome News”)
The WEATHER REPORTER reports on the super happy awesome weather – sure there
may be rain, wind, and even an impending heat wave, but it’s all good news if you spin it
properly. (“Super Awesome Weather”)
An ANIMAL REPORTER broadcasts from a safari, showcasing a dangerously
awesome wild animal!
A SPORTSCASTER reports from a sports arena. The biggest game of the year was
cancelled… which is great news! After all, when nobody plays, everybody wins! (“Good
Game”)
PARKER, Joey’s little sister, breaks onto the broadcast to say hi!
JOEY takes over the broadcast, reprimanding Parker for interrupting and banning Parker
from the show. We go to commercial.
A public service announcement showcases the EKEA REPRESENTATIVE (the Every
Kid Everywhere Association) who urges parents to leave their kids alone and give them
whatever they ask for, including tons of screen time. (“Leave Them Alone”)
In the next commercial, a SALESMAN introduces viewers to a new product that will
make their water more exciting: Spicy Water!
PARKER takes over the feed and introduces Super Happier Awesomer News! – Parker’s
new show that promises to be even happier than Joey’s. (“Super Happier Awesomer
News”)
JOEY assures viewers that Super Happy Awesome news is still the best news program
and promises to out-happy Parker’s broadcast.
POLITICS REPORTER 1, from Super Happy Awesome News, shares a happy update
from the senate – they all made friendship bracelets!
POLITICS REPORTER 2, from Super Happier Awesomer News, reports on the
escalating friendship bracelet situation and joins in as politicians sing about being BFFs.
(“You’re My BFF”)
CHEF 1, a sophisticated chef from Super Happy Awesome News, teaches viewers how
to craft the perfect gourmet meal – a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. (“It’s An Art”)

CHEF 2, from Super Happier Awesomer News, teaches viewers how to make an even
awesomer sandwich with lots of toppings – the PBJGBCSWC!
A pompous COMMUNITY REPORTER from Super Happy Awesome News
interviews community members, inviting them to share happy stories. First, BLAIR
shares a funny story about her parents dancing to Beyoncé then she passes the
microphone to her neighbor, Dylan. DYLAN shares a joyful story about going on long
walks with her mom and then throws the microphone to her sister, Tanner. TANNER gets
very excited about being on tv! Then, she passes the microphone back to the reporter,
who confidently wraps up the segment. (“It Was Good”)
PARKER doesn’t have a spare reporter, so she goes out into the community to interview
people directly. Parker asks LASHAWN how she’s feeling. LaShawn opens up and
shares her honest feelings: She’s overwhelmed by the upsetting stuff she’s seen on the
news. (“Honestly, Part 1”)
JOEY interrupts the feed and yells at Parker for including an unhappy story in the
broadcast. We go to commercial.
In another public service announcement, the EKEA REPRESENTATIVE reports some
surprising new findings. Rumor has it, tons of screen time may not be the best thing for
your child. Who knew?
Remorseful, JOEY returns to the feed, asking Parker for forgiveness and playing some
surprising viewer submissions. In the first submission, DESI thanks the broadcast for
airing more vulnerable content and opens up about feeling lonely and excluded. Then
SAGE talks about the passing of her grandfather and JAYLEN expresses gratitude for
the broadcast, which has emboldened her to be more vulnerable. Finally, Joey shares a
submission, apologizing to Parker and sharing the real reason for starting this show:
cheering up their stressed-out parents. (“Honestly”)
PARKER calls Joey and encourages her to keep opening up. Then the two of them come
up with an idea! (“It Was Good, Part 4”)
In this final public service announcement, the EKEA REPRESENTATIVE exuberantly
hugs a tree and encourages viewers to do the same!
PARKER launches the new Super Honest Awesome News broadcast – where all feelings
are welcome! – and introduces submissions from viewers. The FULL CAST is invited to
shed their roles and share how they’re feeling. Then everyone closes out the broadcast,
singing the new Super Honest Awesome News theme song!
