Twas the Night Before Christmas.
By Marie Hastings
"A new rhyming script of the classic christmas favorite".
Length: 8 - 10 Minutes
Cast: 5 - 25 actors (or more) can perform the play. Many roles are interchangeable between male and female actors.
Genre: Drama (with some comedy)
Audience: Children / Family
About the Play: The play cleverly uses verse to show that Christmas is not just about shopping and gifts but is about the birth of Jesus, our saviour.
Specially scripted for use with small, medium or larger groups this script in rhyming verse can be performed with 5 - 25 actors (or more!). In fact you can use as many actors as you want to! This is ideal for a Christian School or Children's Church to present as the older children can play the speaking roles and younger children can act out the story.
Following is a sample from the script...
The last verses for this script are as follows...
I remember a story
I know it was true
I think it’s what’s missing
I’ll share it with you
I found this old book
Not opened for years
And what I’ve read here
Has reduced me to tears
We’ve got it all wrong
We’ve made a mistake
Christmas is much more
Than presents and cake!”
They read further on
And then they read more
And their eyes were opened
They finally saw
That the reason for Christmas
Is Jesus alone
His birth in a manger
A stable His home
For He came to this world
To bring it great joy
The future of all
Would rest on this boy
As a man He would lay down
His life for us all
But it started that Christmas
In a Bethlehem stall
So as you gather together
This Christmas eve
Don’t forget to accept
The one gift that is free
