I am still searching for a sensible Christmas musical to do with grades 1-3. When I say sensible I mean that it is not some crazy theme - like a hoe-down Christmas or something. I also can't use anything really religious. In the past I have done 'The Nutcracker' and 'Silent Night' (a story of church mice and the community they live in). It also doesn't have to be a musical, but it would be nice. ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

http://www.lazybeescripts.co.uk/YouthTheatre/The_Spirit_Of_Christmas.htm - The Spirit of Christmas , by Annette Cameron. It's set in Santa's workshop, where the spirit of Christmas has gone missing. A musical in as much as it comes with one original song, but suggests the option of using other songs ("popular songs") at various other points in the show. In a similar vein, there's http://www.lazybeescripts.co.uk/YouthTheatre/A_Letter_to_Santa.htm - A Letter to Santa by Sue Gordon. This comes with 5 original songs. The down-side of this one is that, whilst not religious throughout, it ends in a crib scene tableau. (The links take you to pages where you should be able to read the complete scripts, but you need the free Java plug-in installed on your computer to do so.) ------------- Stuart Lazy Bee Scripts http://www.lazybeescripts.co.uk - http://www.lazybeescripts.co.uk read complete play scripts on-line |

I've done The Best Christmas Pageant Ever! twice and it's been a real crowd pleaser. Don't think that because it's a "Christmas Pageant" that it's religious because it's more about looking past what you've heard about someone and getting to really know a person before you pass judgement. ------------- In a world of margarine, be butter! |

Check out Toy Camp and Toy Land.
Both have pre-recorded music- we have done both with kids that age and they LOVE Them! Toy Camp is awesome because they are dressed as toys!!!!! ------------- Kristina www.capitalareaproductions.com |
