Christmas Plays

The Little Town of Christmas

Here's a comedy package of 12 yuletide sketches just perfect to give your audience for an evening's entertainment this Christmas!  By adding other acts such as singers, dancers, etc., you can create more of a variety show, or, if time is a factor, you can pick and choose just the scenes you want. Use a small ensemble cast with doubling or include everybody in small, easily learned roles. Almost all parts can be played by men or women. Minimal scenery makes it ideal for traveling. Read more.

Dickens' A Christmas Carol

Here's a delightful and easy-to-do version of Dickens' Christmas story, faithfully adapted for young people and their families. All the beloved characters and scenes are included: Scrooge and Cratchit in the counting house; the Ghost of Christmas Past; Scrooge’s sweetheart Belle at the Fezziwig ball; the Ghost of Ghost of Christmas Present and the Cratchit home with Tiny Tim; and even the sensitive scenes at the pawn shop and graveyard. Of course, there’s the happy ending when Scrooge, now a changed man, promises the Cratchits a brighter future. The large, flexible cast allows for considerable doubling while the multiple playing areas can be defined by simple props and lighting or optional periaktoi. Fun for all in under an hour!  Read more.

A Commedia Christmas Carol

Sometimes frenzied, but always fun, this dynamic adaptation puts a fresh spin on one of our most beloved holiday stories. Read more.
