CHRISTMAS PLAY! Goldilocks & The Christmas Elves

Get ready for a hilarious romp across the North Pole in this crazy, mixed-up fairy tale adventure, with an appealing, comical script for a Christmas performance play or a Readers’ Theater. Goldilocks wakes Sleeping Beauty and transports her to the North Pole, and what follows is a madcap adventure with lovable and memorable characters, including Santa Claus himself, and a engaging variety of Christmas Elves.

There are 15 characters in this script, as outlined below. Note that elves can be added or subtracted for fewer or more parts.

Included: 30 character signs, printable prop cards, and vocabulary to help you stage your performance.

Note: While I have had students in grades three through twelve produce this play and all love it (including a noted national theater company and a dance company - yay!) I generally recommend it for 4th grade and up. Of course you are welcome to take it on for any level, revise it as you wish — but it might be a bit long or a tad too advanced for most 3rd grade classes. Otherwise, enjoy; it's lighthearted and fun, and students everywhere have thoroughly enjoyed producing it.
