New Christmas One-Act Play for a Large Cast: Chaos in a Christmas Snow Globe
If you’re looking for a large cast Christmas play for young actors or young audiences, with lots of gender inclusive/neutral roles, check out Chaos in a Christmas Snow Globe. Yup, it takes place inside a Christmas Snow Globe, complete with Christmas Tree, train and ice skating pond. Designers can be as detailed or as representative as desired for this world which leaves lots of room for creativity.
The Christmas Gang loves their place of honor in 8-year-old Stella’s bedroom, come the Sunday after Thanksgiving when all the Christmas decorations are displayed, but they’re also getting a bit bored of the same routine. Luckily, they’re in a Snow Globe with Santa himself who has a pretty cool ability to evoke, oh, I don’t know…a little something called…
Christmas Magic!
Christmas Magic will bring some excitement to the snow globe, for sure! But what the friends don’t realize is that Christmas Magic has a mind of its own. And what it decides to bring is…um… well…
A Jack-o-Lantern (Whaaaa? Yes!) who has been pining away to join the Christmas Snow Globe for years! But can this Halloween decoration convince the Christmas Friends (especially the stickler Elf) that it truly belongs with them? Or will it be booted back to the dusty shelf? Enjoy this family-friendly one-act Christmas play about acceptance and appreciation.
This play runs approximately 20 minutes. The whole class, club, church or company can perform in this show! It has 11 speaking roles (9 gender inclusive/neutral roles, 1 female, 1 male), and an unlimited number of non-speaking reindeer. There’s some group singing (just “Jingle Bells” - don’t worry), opportunities for dancing, and fun scene setting. Check out the list of characters here.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
