Description

Created by the Paperbag Players, The Lost and Found Christmas is a brightly modern mini-play ideal for in-school performances. It is a feel-good holiday play about the Christmas giving-spirit. Josephine Kindly, Christmas shopping on the last day, struggles to the bus stop with her many presents. While waiting for a bus, she cannot resist lending her presents to fellow shoppers in need. Forgetfully, she gets off the crowded bus, without collecting them again. All ends merrily in a surprise Christmas party in a tiny house. Everyone will heed the final cry of Donald Ashwander’s irresistible song: Roll up the rugs. Pass out the cookies. Let’s do ‘The Christmas Squeeze.’ Details on set, scenery and costume are available in the script. Sets of painted cardboard, a bus stop, a bus, a parlor and a Christmas tree, all on a bare stage or in a classroom. Contemporary costumes. Approximate running time: 15 minutes. Music in book.
