Taproot Theatre's 2010 Christmas Touring Repertoire
'Twas the Night Before a Wonderful Christmas Carol
“Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Freak reindeer saves Christmas!” Paparazzi, adoring fans, interviews… Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is an overnight sensation. But the attention is more than his ego can take. Everything goes awry one blustery December evening when the media darling bursts into a nice, traditional reading of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, telling his version of the story. Audiences young and old will laugh as this and other Christmas stories unravel before their eyes, ultimately pointing to the true meaning of Christmas. Think you knew your favorite Christmas fables? Think again!
By Josh Hornbeck | Directed by Nathan Jeffrey | 4 actors, 50 minutes
Twelve Days to Christmas
Store-bought Christmas cookies? Never! Declining a holiday party invitation? Unthinkable! Between trimming the tree, volunteering at church and holding baking marathons, Lynn is the queen of filling up her holiday schedule. But even she—a superwoman—finds herself frazzled as the weeks leading up to Christmas fill up. When will she catch her breath and think about the true reason for celebrating Christmas? Funny and familiar, Twelve Days to Christmas will make you laugh and remind you to make time to reflect on the wonder of Christmas with your family.
By Josh Hornbeck | Directed by Nathan Jeffrey | 3 actors, 45 minutes
The Birth
Travel back in time two thousand years as the most extraordinary events in history are playing out in our midst. A baby is born, one who is Love fleshed out among us. Told by two actors who portray a myriad of characters caught up in the events, The Birth uses humor and dramatic storytelling to bring the account of Jesus’ birth to life. With a solid, Bible-based narrative and a historical view going all the way back to the creation, The Birth is perfect for Christmas parties, banquets and church services. This Christmas, share with your audience the story of the most all-consuming and dangerous love the world has ever known.
Adapted and Directed by Nathan Jeffrey | 2 actors, 35 minutes
