Poor Cinderella works
all day to please her Stepmother

the Christmas ball. But since this play
is set at Christmas, the pumpkin
becomes a sleigh! The mice
become flying reindeer! And who
should be the coachman? Why it's Santa
Claus himself!
The
audience joins in the fun singing
Christmas Carols like Deck
the Halls and O
Christmas Tree. Characters sing
clever lyrics to familar
Christmas tunes! Cinderella's special
mouse friends take center stage in
their comic plot to
help Cinderella meet her
Prince Charming, just in time for a Christmas
Day wedding!

In
this new children's play, Snow White becomes
the perfect Christmas
Story! Santa
himself arrives onstage to tell
everyone about a terrible problem: The
Wicked Queen hates Christmas
and is plotting against Snow
White because she brings the
lovely winter snow. Young
performers become Snowflakes,
Forest
Animals and even Seven
Christmas Elves! Tricked
into taking a
bite of the poisoned apple, the
lovely Snow White sleeps until Prince
Charming awakens her with "love's
first kiss". At
last the snow falls and Christmas
comes to the forest making for...
A very happy ending! 


Audience
Participation!
Every
character has a name, at least 3
lines and everybody
sings together! New lyrics are
set to familiar Holiday
songs such as O
Christmas Tree, We
Wish You a Merry Christmas and Here

for Christmas as a heart-warming
Children's Christmas Musical
Play!

Whispering
Palms School, Saipan, Marianas Islands
This
fun
new adaptation
comes complete with child-friendly dialogue and familiar
Christmas carols the audience and
performers can sing together.
A snow blizzard carries
Dorothy and Toto to the Magical
Elfinsland where Glinda is the Good
Witch of the North Pole! Dorothy
must get home to open her Christmas
presents in the morning, so she sets
off to meet the Wizard
who lives in the Great
Palace of Toys.
The
Scarecrow is now a Snowman,
the Tin Man becomes a Tin
Soldier and the Lion is now a toy Stuffed
Lion that is sadly overpriced. Is
that man behind the curtain really Santa
Claus? Will he grant the
traveling friends
their gifts? Will he help Dorothy
get back to Kansas in time
for Christmas? Is that Santa's
sleigh and reindeer flying off in the
sky? When Dorothy
wakes up on Christmas morning it all
becomes clear -- there's
no place like home!

All your favorite characters - Ebenezer

"A
Christmas Carol was
the perfect vehicle for a young group of inexperienced actors. It
lent itself well to being done as a touring group too instead of a
straight play and we loved that there were Christmas carols which
encouraged the audience to participate as well. I will be
recommending your organization to CYT Headquarters for any area
starting up across the country." Bliss Lanier, Executive
Director, CYT-North Idaho

The
Very Bestest Christmas Present Web Page |
Poor
Norman. He's
come to the mall to get the "very
bestest present in the whole wide world" and he's
only got fifty cents! The mall is full of shysters and busybodies but
Norman holds tight to his dream: "the very,
very..."
well, you get the idea.
This
short, hilarious Christmas skit was
written for performances at the mall, office, school, church or
community center. Bright,
breezy
and quick, it is appropriate to be performed near Santa during the
holiday sittings, at Christmas parties, for youngsters, grownups and
family. It's a great way to present something short, easy and
creative for Christmas!
"Thank
you for providing us The
Very Bestest Christmas Present!
We had a lot of fun
practicing and performing
it!"
