New Holiday Plays

The Night Before

 It’s the night before Christmas and all through the house, there’s a creature stirring, but it isn’t a mouse!  Sound asleep, Remy and Vida awaken when they hear a loud crash.  As Remy searches the house in the dark, he encounters Santa Claus, mistakes him for a burglar, and accidentally shoots him.  When Remy calls the police to report that Santa has been shot, the police just think he’s had a few too many Christmas cocktails.  Not knowing what to do, Vida suggests hiding Santa’s body in the freezer or living as fugitives in Paraguay.  But with a little bit of blackmail, a smidgeon of vengeance, a recumbent bicycle, and a 50-inch high-definition TV, Remy celebrates his best Christmas ever!  This short holiday play is easy to stage and will spread holiday laughter—guaranteed!

 Ha, Ha, Halloween

Why are pirates so funny?  They just arrgh!  In this hilarious Halloween show, the audience gets to help Captain Cackle choose which pirate has the best (and worst!) joke, learn how the jack-o’-lantern came to be, discover the secret to getting more candy on Halloween, uncover the truth about the candy corn curse, and find out why two huge cockroaches are living in Mrs. Betty’s cupboard.  Suitable for all ages, these easy-to-produce skits can be either performed as an alternative to a haunted house or can be incorporated into a haunted house experience. 

Hot Off the Press

Box Office

As the new box office manager for a small community theatre, Gayle soon discovers that there’s more drama in the theatre lobby than on stage!  Chaos and confusion abound when Gayle encounters a host of unusual customers including a smooth-talking “new age” minister who mistakes the theatre for a church, a housewife who thinks the theatre’s rummage sale is a play, and a woman who arrives wearing a bathrobe.  And to make matters worse, the theatre’s computer system crashes and an overbearing season ticket-holder arrives to “help” Gayle out.

Shakespeare's Mid-Winter's Nightmare

 What starts as a dream quickly turns into a nightmare when Shakespeare, sick in bed and suffering from writer’s block, is visited by some of his most famous characters including Hamlet, Ophelia, Lady Macbeth, Puck, and Romeo and Juliet.  The characters try to help Shakespeare decide if his next play should be a comedy or a tragedy, but they soon find themselves competing for Shakespeare’s attention and title of most tragic character.  However, even these demanding characters are no match for the ultimate shrew, Shakespeare’s wife, who is determined to cure him in time to attend the King’s winter ball.
