Description
A group of lively traveling players are at your service as they take you on a spirited adventure through Christmas past and present. They have searched the globe for Christmas stories and songs that will amaze, thrill, and delight children of all ages.
A great play for beginners, The Merrie Christmas Show can be performed with almost any sized cast. Lots of room for audience participation.
This is a vignette play! What is a Vignette Play?
What is a Vignette Play?
You want...
...a play for your whole class.
...a large cast.
...a simple set.
...simple costumes.
...a play that suits a large group of beginners. Or a smaller advanced group.
Then you are looking for a vignette play.
A vignette play is a collection of short scenes on a theme. Theatrefolk vignette plays cover themes from waiting to driving to communication to hair to snow and even to Shakespeare! You'll love working with the variety and flexibility of the scenes. Your actors will love the fast pace and fun characters.
There's more. Every Theatrefolk vignette play holds the unexpected. A showcase monologue. A dramatic moment. A change in form. A left turn.
Experience these fun, joyful, energetic ensemble-driven competition-ideal pieces.
The value of Theatrefolk vignette plays is clear on the page and on the stage.

Customer Comments
We love Theatrefolk and Lindsay Price. Last year we did Deck the Stage... it was fabulous! Deck the Stage is perfect for a high school production. Ms. Price's dialogue is witty and charming, with just the right measure of silliness that can really be hammed up.
I know this year's production of The Merrie Christmas Show will be just as successful as Deck the Stage.
