Christmas is such a special time of year. Everyone gets full of the spirit of giving, and selflessness. Simple moments become precious memories that will be remembered throughout time. I’ve found that the best to achieve this Christmas bliss, of forgetting about oneself, is a Christmas play. It helps set the mood of what really is important during that jolly time of year. The play doesn’t have to be something that is complex, just a simple cast, with a few spectators to reminisce in its glory.
Many people think that Christmas plays have to be a whole big production that takes so much time to assemble. Weeks or even months of preparation for one simple event, that when it’s over no one remembers exactly what was said, only the feeling they had while they were watching. Plays have no need to be intricate elaborate works of art; which cause people to get stressed and ornery because of the rush. It causes the most special time of year to lose its true focus. The best plays are preformed with a flexible cast, and simple interior or simple exterior set.
When putting on a Christmas play many people worry about the amount of time it goes into preparing. It honestly takes no time at all. You can get many Christmas play scripts from the internet. Once you have the script the rest is easy. So many people are willing to help, especially if it’s for a good cause. You may want to think of asking for a donation, which could be offered to a specific charity you want to help out.
Another huge obstacle is finding a flexible cast. You want a cast that isn’t in it for the glory, or the leading role. You want a cast that just wants to have fun and portray the true meaning of Christmas. When deciding who gets what role, don’t worry about hurting people’s feelings. Do what is best for the play. Have everyone how important each role and member of the cast is important. Don’t stress them out give them plenty of time to learn their lines. If dealing with little children, be patient, don’t worry if they mess up, it will add to the play.
Putting together a set is sometimes hectic. Especially a Christmas play, there is so much going on. Once a location is chosen be sure to do add to the integrity of the location, and try not to take anything away. Especially when dealing with an interior set. The most common Christmas play around Christmas is the birth of Jesus Christ and the nativity. This is a simple exterior set interior set, if you are struggling to find props be sure to ask for donations. Many people have stuff lying around the house and are more willing to give it away around the holiday season.
Overall setting up a Christmas play can be demanding. The most important thing to remember is that no matter what happens, as long as the cast and audience had a good time it was well worth the effort. Nobody counts the minutes that go into the preparation, they remember the joy that goes in while watching. It’s the simple Christmas messages that have the biggest impact. Don’t be afraid to get your message across create a set time now to put on a neighborhood play.
