CYRIL THE CHERUB SAVES CHRISTMAS

The Story : It's almost Christmas time at the North Pole, but… things are different this year : the elves are grumpy; the reindeer are sick and children's letters have almost stopped. On top of all this Santa Clause finds out that the SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS is missing!! It's The SPIRIT'S "job" to spread Joy around the world before Santa does his big tour, but he's got so despondent on the state of the world that he just wanders off !

At his wits end, Santa appeals for God's help but the only person God has available is Cyril The Cherub. And so… off set Santa and Cyril on a whirlwind trip to try and find the SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS. Their travels take them to the Airport; Shopping Mall; Hospital; Sports Stadium and even a sleazy night club. Do they find him? That's what the audience has to wait to find out!

This play is a great all Aussie romp suitable for family Christmas entertainment or even a "Theatre Restaurant" style show. With 10 main characters and a supporting chorus the play was staged by Tempo with a cast of only 11 as "doubling up" of characters is easy! Your group will love performing Cyril the Cherub Saves Christmas!

Who is Cyril?


MRS SCROOGE
This original script is based on Charles Dickens classic story about Christmas "A Christmas Carol".
But, this hilarious version is set in modern day Australia and with a female Scrooge as well.
How will she cope with a visit from her dead business partners? Not to mention the three wacky spirits
they send her to teach her all about Christmas! Featuring all the favourite and well known characters with
recommended songs and some original pieces as well.

Cast is 16 main roles plus Chorus. Many of these can be achieved by doubling up. Tempo produced this play
as a Christmas Theatre Restaurant piece and was a huge success with all audiences.

WHATS IN A NAME ??
This is a one Act play which was nominated for best original Script at the Canberra One Act Play festival of 2002.
With one simple set and only five characters it is a great training piece or a potential winner for
your group's entry in a festival.

Story : Pete is a writer who hasn't done much for a while and then finds himself writing for a well known soapie.
His girlfriend Jules is a research scientist who is researching the nature of time. In a major accident Pete
sets off a train of events which brings "the bard" himself to our time. While Jules frantically hunts for
a way to send him back Pete gets him to help write a plot for the soapie. You'll never guess the end!
