A series of harmful pranks on holiday characters throughout the year lands the April Fool on Santa’s bad list right before the annual holiday party at the North Pole. Will he/she be able to make amends with Santa and the others he/she has hurt, or will he/she have to give up April Fool’s Day altogether to prove to them he/she is truly sorry? Let your group perform this funny, clever, one act play to find out how the April Fool learns his/her lesson that jokes and pranks are only funny if no one is ever hurt!
Note: Since this story has a great anti-bullying message as well as a holiday concert, it's perfect for a December-time holiday-themed show!
Genre: Comedy, Holiday Concert
Cast Size: This delightful children’s holiday play and concert offers a flexible cast size with a minimum of 10 characters and then up to as many non-speaking characters as desired can be added to the CHORUS to accommodate your group/class size (characters will sing at the end only as part of the full cast). There are 10 speaking roles: 5 females, 4 males, and 1—the lead (April Fool)—for either female or male.
Recommended for performers aged 8 – 11 (Grades 3 – 6)
Running Time: 30 minutes (with the option to add more songs to the ending holiday concert scene to accommodate any performance time needed, if desired).
