“’Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house...”  We’ve all heard the familiar opening to one of the most beloved holiday poems in history.  But while we know Papa’s version of events from that fateful Christmas Eve, we haven’t heard from anyone else...  until now! 

In this comedic retelling of the classic poem, everyone gets a chance to tell their story — from a stir-crazy mouse to a group of dancing sugarplums to Ma and the children, reindeer, and even Santa Claus himself!  And there are some new faces too, including a paranoid neighbor, a delivery driver, Mrs. Claus, and elves. 

With Papa reading most of his lines from a book, this easy-to-stage, large-cast one-act comedy gives everyone in your cast a moment to shine while sharing the magic and wonder of Christmas Eve with your audience.
