Find Delightful Christmas Play Scripts For A Successful Presentation

By Celia Hall


There are many delightful Christmas play scripts available. These vary in theme from traditional to totally new ideas. The stories might be anything from the legends of Santa Claus or St. Nicholas to imaginary tales of penguins and polar bears frolicking in the snow. What is certain is that everyone in your group should be able to participate in one way or another. Being able to purchase a suitable script online can often speed up the process of starting rehearsals, and the variety of what is available is quite vast.

You might begin by looking for variations on the delightful traditional favorites such as the Gift of the Magi or The Night Before Christmas. These are certain to please your crowd. You might also take another look at the tried and true A Christmas Carol by Dickens. This is a classic that seems to bring cheer whenever it is performed. The nice thing about these is that cultural variations exist in many versions presented around the world. The characters are clear human stereotypes, but the addition of bits of culture can make for pleasing ethnic variations. The hopes and fears, dreams and behaviors of the main characters speak to everyone.

Many authors have turned their attention to creating excellent scripts based on creative new stories, too. It can be very exciting to try out a brand new play written by an emerging writer. This is true not only for the participants, but also for the audience. Anyone who has tired of the traditional will enjoy seeing a new take on things. Keeping some of the popular scenery and props associated with Christmastime will help to bring happiness to those experiencing the new for the first time.

Some scripts are humorous and others are sentimental. Whatever you choose, look for engaging plots and interesting characters. If you are going to present something new to your public, you will want to catch their attention right from the start.

You will want to consider the average running time of the play to be certain that it will be a good fit for your event. Twenty minutes to just under an hour is about right for most performances. This length helps to keep youngsters and oldsters from becoming bored or squirmy. A good bet is to use scripts that are intriguing or varied to keep interest high.

When you do your online window shopping, look over the roster or characters needed and check for male and female roles necessary. Consider choosing flexible lead parts that might be filled by either boys or girls if your group is smaller. Family gatherings can stand a bit more of role swapping, but more formal gatherings might not accept this as well. The more flexible the script, the simpler it will be to help beginners succeed.

Before buying anything, check for precise descriptions of copyright permissions, royalties and licensing requirements necessary to present your play in public. These details are universal but not always implemented the same way from company to company. You will want to have this type of information clearly understood in advance of any planned fundraiser or public event.

Christmas play scripts are some of the most delightful stories you might read. Being able to present them to your public can be filled with fun for your cast and your audience if chosen and presented well. Whether you want to share a traditional tale or branch out into a modern one, everyone will have the chance to enjoy the process.
