Prancer
Young Jessica Riggs’ family has fallen on hard times. Still, she keeps her belief in Santa Claus and the idea that there are miracles in the world. When an injured reindeer appears in Jessica’s backyard, she believes it is Prancer. While she is nursing the creature back to health, the whole community of Three Oaks eventually learns about Prancer, causing big problems for Jessica as she tries to return the reindeer home. Based on the cherished film, Prancer, this piece uses a heartwarming story and breathtaking puppetry to bring light into your holiday season.
Nutcracker
Mrs. Covington of Dorsett Middle School has high aspirations for the holiday show — a production of the classic “Nutcracker Suite” with singing and almost-dancing. Not so fast! There are auditions with a lunch box poem, a James Cagney impersonation, and a recitation of state capitals. And there is a dress rehearsal with soccer team mice, a Sugar Plum Fairy with earphones, and a Fearsome Struggle — not to mention a tuba solo and flying debris.
A Christmas Carol
This classic Christmas tale is re-energized to include a doll toting girl, and recreate the role of Ebenezer Scrooge making him less an evil tyrant and more a gentle old man with psychological hang-ups. This interpretation of a Christmas Carol leans toward being a study of the character of Scrooge while still playing out our favorite Holiday tale of the magic of Christmas.
The Velveteen Rabbit
James receives a stuffed rabbit as a Christmas gift and the pair quickly become the best of friends. When the boy becomes sick, the rabbit's love heals the boy and, in return for his good deed, a fairy grants the Velveteen Rabbit life.
