Description

The play traces the wonderfully unlikely adventures of a group of runaway Christmas presents to the tune of Donald Ashwander’s song Wrap and Tie. The entire town pursues them in vain. Sadly, everyone goes to a party without presents, where they discover that Christmas is beautiful without expensive gifts. Astonished, the dizzy, hide-away presents return to share the fun in a singing and dancing finale for everyone. Production notes are available in the script containing details on costumes, set and scenery. Suitable for touring and in-school performances. Costumes: characters wear modern clothes; actors playing the presents are gift-wrapped. Approximate running time: 15 minutes. Music in book.
