A
Christmas Wizard of Oz
 Brand
New for 2008! |
Just
imagine! The Wizard of Oz adapted
for Christmas as a heart-warming
Children's Christmas Musical
Play!
This
great 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!

memorable holiday event!
"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

Eve? Be part of Izzy's great
adventure to the North Pole where
he meets Santa's Elves, Rosie
the Reindeer and comes face
to face with the Abominable
Snowman! Izzy
and Rosie save the day, helping Santa and his Reindeer deliver
the goodies just in time for Christmas morning!
Funny
witty lyrics are set to easy, familiar
Christmas Carol tunes, taking the
emphasis off memorizing unknown songs and putting it on imagination
and creative performance.
Packed with laughs and audience
participation, ends
with a lump in your throat and everyone reciting Clement
Moore's famous
poem! A perfect Christmas musical play for your school's
holiday event.

The
Very Bestest Christmas Present
 
Looking
for a short musical Christmas Skit or Christmas Playlet?
Cast of 13
or more and just 20 minutes long!
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!"
