A Christmas Carol - Scroogie Festive Parody
Description
This play holds the most sentimental value, as it was my first parody, and the first time directing a play. It remains the only time I held tryouts and presented as a school-wide effort (the remainder of my plays were classroom productions). As usual, the students had ideas and we introduced a lot of technical aspects, as well as props, including a working door for Jacob Marley to burst through in a cloud of baby powder! The first Ghost who visits Scrooge is obnoxious; the second is a ValleyGirl/ Guy; and the third remains the Grim Reaper. Angels sing altered lyrics to the theme song of Gilligan's Island in the opening scene after the Narrators introduce the play.....so, yes, there are the usual comic bits that are my staple! Have fun with it! (About 60 min. in length.)
