00:00La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
00:08Elmo's full of wonder, wonder what we will discover in Elmo's Wonderful World.
00:14Hi, welcome to Elmo's World.
00:19Oh, guess what Elmo is wondering about today?
00:24What's that?
00:26Ready for it?
00:28Oh, the theater.
00:33Oh, and look, Big Bird's performing a play.
00:37Oh, great job, Big Bird.
00:39Oh, boy, Elmo wants to learn all about the theater.
00:43Oh, let's ask Elmo's friend, Smarty.
00:46Let's call her together.
00:48Oh, Smarty.
00:55Hiya, Elmo.
00:56I just love the theater.
00:58Well, that's perfect, Smarty, because Elmo wants to learn all about it.
01:03Well, what do we do to learn something new?
01:06We look it up.
01:09Curtain up on theater.
01:11Here we go.
01:12A theater is a place where stories, called plays, are performed.
01:17Actors and actresses talk, sing, or dance to tell the story.
01:22Some plays even use puppets.
01:25Set designers are people who make the backgrounds.
01:28Costume designers make clothes for the actors.
01:30You can go to the theater, or create your very own theater at home.
01:36A play can be about whatever you want it to be.
01:40Yay!
01:41Bravo, Smarty!
01:43Boy, you sure do know a lot about the theater.
01:46Thanks, Elmo.
01:47Well, I'm off to take some selfies with the actors.
01:50Catch you later.
01:51Bravo, Smarty.
01:53Bye-bye.
01:53Boy, a play can be about anything.
01:58Hey, that gives Elmo an idea.
02:02Let's play a game together.
02:05Yeah, come on, come on.
02:14Elmo wonders if we can put on our very own play.
02:19Are you ready?
02:20Curtain up.
02:21First, we have to decide where our play takes place.
02:25On the moon, a train, or in a castle.
02:29Castle.
02:30Great.
02:31Now, we have to choose an actor to be in our play.
02:35A robot, a cowgirl, or a mouse.
02:38Robot.
02:39Okay.
02:40Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
02:41Now, we have to pick what the robot does.
02:44Is he a chef, a basketball player, or a camp dancer?
02:48He likes to dance.
02:50A dancing robot?
02:52That's great.
02:53Look at him go.
02:54He's dancing.
02:57Then he got tired and took a nap.
02:59The end.
03:02Yay!
03:03We put on a play together.
03:05Oh, and that makes Elmo wonder even more.
03:08Oh, does Mr. Noodle know how to put on plays?
03:13Oh, let's ask him.
03:15Hey, Mr. Noodle.
03:19Hi there, Schmoodle.
03:21Oh, Schmoodle, Elmo's wondering, do you like to perform in plays?
03:26You do?
03:27Oh, put on a play for us.
03:29Yeah.
03:30Yeah, show us.
03:32It's Little Red Riding Hood.
03:35But where's the big bad wolf?
03:38You're going to be the big bad wolf, Schmoodle?
03:42Oh, Schmoodle, is that really a wolf costume?
03:48That's not a big bad wolf.
03:50That's a taco.
03:52Try again.
03:53That's not a wolf.
03:58That's a chicken.
04:00That's a chicken, Schmoodle.
04:03Show us a wolf.
04:07He's being a wolf.
04:11Yeah, you're doing it, Schmoodle.
04:13You're acting like the big bad wolf.
04:16Oh, take a bow.
04:18Bravo.
04:19Oh, thank you for showing us about theater, Schmoodle.
04:22Bye-bye.
04:23Oh, no.
04:24Thank you, Schmoodle.
04:26Hey, learning new things makes Elmo so happy, it makes him want to dance.
04:32Come on.
04:33Happy, happy, dance, dance.
04:35Happy, happy, dance, dance.
04:37When we learn something new, we do the happy, dance, dance.
04:41Let's see your happy dance.
04:44Yeah, cool.
04:46See you next time.
04:47Keep learning.
04:48Elmo loves you.
04:50Happy, happy, dance, dance.
04:52Happy, happy, dance, dance.
04:54When we learn something new, we do the happy, dance, dance.
04:59Yay.
05:01Gee, it sure is sad putting everything away.
05:04Yeah.
05:05Boy, it was really fun having a theater and putting on a play.
05:09Mm-hmm.
05:09Well, we'll just have to put on another one tomorrow.
05:12Okay.
05:13Yeah.
05:14Oh, and you can, too.
05:16You can put a play on.
05:17It's fun.
05:18See you next time on...
05:20Sesame Street.
05:21Sesame Street.
05:21Come on.
