| I am looking for suggestions for a holiday play. Not a full scale musical but it could possibly have music or not (and preferably a small or medium-sized cast). I am seeking alternatives to the usual Christmas Carol and we've done Sorry, Wrong Chimney. Thanks for anything you can suggest! |

Try "Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!)" It's a holiday cousin to "The Complete Works of Shakespeare - Abridged". We sold out nearly all performances. |

http://www.lazybeescripts.co.uk/cgi-bin/Search_Results.asp?iSc=645 - Happy Christmas Shirley by Louise Roche or http://www.lazybeescripts.co.uk/cgi-bin/Search_Results.asp?iSc=299 - Anna of Nazareth by Sue Gordon (that one is a musical, but with relatively simple songs). ------------- Stuart Lazy Bee Scripts http://www.lazybeescripts.co.uk - http://www.lazybeescripts.co.uk read complete play scripts on-line |

| There's always "A Christmas Story" -- who doesn't love the movie? |

Personally, I'm dying to do http://www.christopherdurang.com/FullCratchit.htm - Mrs. Bob Cratchit's Wild Christmas Binge , but haven't found a home for it...yet! Christopher Durang lampoons Scrooge, et. al. ------------- Eric Brandt http://TheTheaterCommunity.com - The Theater Community

| Mrs. Bob Cratchit's W.C.B. is a funny one! We would also like to do A Christmas Story, as someone else suggested, but the rights are traditionally restricted in my city (due to a large theatre performing it annually). |

The Nutcracker. I have hated this as a ballet but as a musical it was great. http://www.spotlightmusicals.com/Nutcracker.html ------------- http://www.ectheatre.org/ http://www.spotlightmusicals.com/ |
