It’s time to act all those Christmas stories into Plays. After all, if Charles Dickens captured the spirit of Christmas by writing A Christmas Carol then why can’t you do the same by presenting a Play? Here are the ideas:
- Think of a simple Christmas Story that your grandmother might have told you when you were a kid
- Write the script for the play by writing each character’s dialogue in series.
- Select your cast crew.
- Give one copy of script to each character and rehearse for the dialog delivery.
- After you are thorough with dialogues, practice rehearsal on location.
- Plan a time bound Play. A too short Play would fail and a too long one would lose audience’s attention.
- Plan your Play much before Christmas because costumes and other props need to be done well to make the Play as authentic as possible.
- Adapting the story of birth of Jesus Christ into Play would be a perfect idea for Christmas Story Plays.
- To make your play more effective, you can go for sound effects and other audio- visual medium. For instance, if you want to show angels heralding the coming of baby Jesus, then you can have a background score singing, “Gloria”.
