Christmas season brings with it the aroma of pinecones and holly, freshly-baked cookies and fresh snow. It also brings a plethora of Christmas-themed theater events that add an entertaining element to the holiday season. We’ve compiled a list of some of the most popular plays that set the mood for Christmas.
- A Wonderful Life:
This 1986 theater event is a faithful adaptation of the classic It’s a Wonderful Life. It follows the life of George Bailey who, burdened by family obligations and duty, leads a despairing life. His guardian angel descends on Christmas Eve to show him a world where he doesn’t exist and to help him realize that he has always had a wonderful life.
- A Dickens Carol:
This theater play draws parallels between Dickens and his most popular character – Scrooge. One cold Christmas Eve in Victorian London, an embittered Dickens experiences a change in fortunes when he is visited by three spirits that transform his life and inspire him to write the character of Scrooge.
- The Charitable Sisterhood Christmas Spectacular:
This Christmas-special theater event draws people from various walks of life. Christmas is a few weeks away and the Sisterhood is preparing for its annual event. However, the theft of their baby Jesus figure derails their preparations. The comic element doesn’t let up until the climax, which leaves the audience in great spirits.
- Silent Night:
The year is 1818 and the quaint Austrian village of Oberndorf bei Salzbrg is caught up in a blustery, cold winter. The assistant priest and schoolmaster of the village try to lighten the atmosphere in any way possible, but the destruction of the church organ adds to the already-glum mood. In the middle of this disquiet, the schoolmaster and priest compose the most cherished Christmas song, “Silent Night.”
- A Gift to Remember:
Based on the book Can This Be Christmas? by Debbie Macomber, the play follows a group of strangers who, during a snowstorm on Christmas Eve, try to reach their respective destinations in time for the holidays. Trouble with their train’s engine forces them to alight and take shelter at a depot, where they bond and realize that this Christmas will be a gift to remember.
There are several other plays that make for great holiday-watches such as A Good Old-Fashioned Big Family Christmas, The 12 Days of Christmas and more.
