Christmas/Nativity Play Script
This is a Nativity Play I wrote when I directed our school's Christmas program a few years ago. It has ten scenes and it may be appropriate to intersperse each scene with a song at a Christmas concert. I have used it that way before, as well as for reader's theatre in a classroom setting. I wrote this script, basing it of course on the story contained in the first chapters of the four Gospels. A digital copy is free and available online for anyone to borrow, use, or modify.

Classroom Script - A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens
Performed this script with my fifth graders for several years. Almost all of the dialogue comes directly from the book. The only additional character is that of "grandma" Belle (in the story she broke off her engagement to Scrooge) as the narrator's voice and to tie up the story at the end. Final pages include all blocking instructions for each scene. Enjoy!
