Scene 1
Get Up Get Out
Scene I
(living room setting at side or in front of main stage.)
Two children loll around in easy chairs staring intently at a T.V. screen.
Mother bustles through the room with children’s coats, hats, mitts and
scarves.
Mother – Sofia; Matt – Gary; Sam – Robbie; Elves – Sean, William; Sue – Penny; Sarah – Sharon; Father – Solomon Pat - Solomon
Mother: C’mon you two drag yourselves away from that screen! It’s a
beautiful winter night out there. The fresh air would do you
good. Your eyes are as square as that T.V.!
Matt: (whining) Ah Mom, we’re right in the middle of the movie, Santa
has gone missing and the elves have to find him or else.......
Sam: (stubbornly) Besides, it’s cold outside....and..
Matt: icy,
Sam: (dramatically) freezing,
Matt: (more dramatically) frigid,
Sam: blizzardy,
Matt: heaping snowdrifts ......
Sam: that swallow children alive.......
Matt: then spit them out as snowmen
Sam: and before you can melt.......
Matt: your, your, your toes fall off!
Sam: Noooooo, not the toes.......!!!!
Everybody sings: (tune) Merry Christmas Everyone
Snow is falling,
All around me,
Children playing,
Having fun.
It's the season,
For love and understanding,
Merry Christmas everyone.
Father: (giving up, drops clothing on floor) You two are impossible!
There’s a winter wonderland waiting for you out there and
you’re missing all the fun. (exits)
Sam & Matt give each other a “high five” and settle down to watch more
T.V.
Matt: (sitting up and staring closely at the T.V.) What’s wrong ..... the
picture’s really……. weird.......
(television starts shaking wildly and out of the screen pops two elves)
Sam & Matt: (squeal and huddle together) Who .... who........ wha, wha
wha’d’ya want?
Elves: Hi, we are Floyd and Loyd. We’ve had enough of that movie, doing the same
thing over and over and over again!
Floyd: I overheard your Mom telling you to go outside and your answers to her.
(shaking his head back and forth) Tsk, tsk, tsk. You’re in a bigger rut than I am and you’re not even caught in a movie!
Loyd: C’mon get your coats, we’re gonna sample some cold, icy, freezing, frigid
fun!
(Children hastily put on hats & coats and follow Floyd and Loyd up to stage as
curtain opens on outdoor scene)
Scene II
Matt: Hey there’s Bobby and Hiren! Hi guys.
Sue: Look at everybody ..... look at the snowflakes ... it really is a Winter Wonderland!
music intro ..... all sing ... Winter Wonderland. Characters wander through action on stage - skating, tobogganing etc.
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Patt: (patting tummy of snowman) This is the best snowman I’ve ever
seen, he’s almost real.
(suddenly snowman moves arm and knocks Matt down.) Ahhh!
Floyd: (dancing around snowman) Well, well, looks like you were right about it being a FROSTY night!
(music intro, all sing Frosty the Snowman as Frosty dances around)
Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal.
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say,
He was made of snow but the children
Know how he came to life one day.
Sue: (waving as Frosty thumps off stage) Bye Frosty, bye Frosty!
(gets twirled around by person running by in red long johns)
Woah, who was that?
Loyd: (grabbing a hold of runner) I know who, I know who! C’mon elves,
I think we found him!
(several elves run out with Santa’s clothing as music starts. All sing Must Be Santa as elves dress Santa. At end of song reindeer take Santa off stage with Floyd)
Who's got a beard that's long and white
Santa's got a beard that's long and white
Who comes around on a special night
Santa comes around on a special night
Special Night, beard that's white
Must be Santa
Must be Santa
Must be Santa, Santa Clause
Matt: (Plopping down on stage) This has been great, but I’m ready for a rest.
Sam: (settling down beside Matt) Me too. Where’s Floyd?
Patt: I guess he went with Santa. After all, remember in the movie, he had to find Santa by Christmas Eve or there would be no toys for girls or boys.
Sam: Hey look, here comes Sarah. Hi Sarah, what do you have with you?
Sarah: Presents for everyone!
Everyone sings: Christmas rockin’ around the Christmas tree
Rocking around the Christmas Tree
at the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Ev'ry couple tries to stop
Rocking around the Christmas Tree
Let the Christmas Spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
and we'll do some caroling
Matt: You were right Mom. It really is a beautiful night out here.
Sarah: A wonderful winters tale.
Everyone: (to audience) Merry Christmas
