        <Name>It’s not too early to think about bringing the spirit of the holiday season into your school this December!</Name>
        <Summary>Now is the time to buy single reading copies of Christmas scripts so you can select a show and plan your December productions.</Summary>
        <Description>&lt;p /&gt;&lt;p /&gt;&lt;p /&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have so many Christmas plays&amp;mdash;over 70 of them!&amp;mdash;that we can&amp;rsquo;t even begin to mention them all here! You want religious Christmas plays? We&amp;rsquo;ve got them! Santa Claus plays? You bet! Christmas plays appropriate for public schools? We have plenty to choose from there, too! From elementary aged to high school and community theatre, we have Christmas plays and musicals for every age group. Of course we have both musicals and non-musicals. Now we offer four different non-musicals that incorporate traditional Christmas carols sung a cappella.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our public school customers are delighted to find a variety of Christmas plays appropriate for their schools. From &lt;i&gt;Yours Truly, Jack Frost &lt;/i&gt;for elementary schools to &lt;i&gt;Too Wrapped Up for Christmas&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Last Stop Till Christmas&lt;/i&gt; as excellent middle school and high school Christmas plays, you&amp;rsquo;ll find that all these plays leave your audience feeling good and in the holiday spirit without preaching or bringing religion into the schools.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Santa Claus plays abound at Pioneer Drama. Some of our most popular ones include &lt;i&gt;CSI: Christmas Scene Investigators &lt;/i&gt;and &lt;i&gt;Jingle Bells Jury&lt;/i&gt;, which allows you to get up to 30 kids on stage and involves your audience as the jury. &lt;i&gt;The One and Only Santa Claus&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;A Mall and the Night Visitor, Can Mrs. Claus Save Christmas?... &lt;/i&gt;from silly to sincere, you&amp;rsquo;ll find the perfect play for your group!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our religious Christmas plays fall into two categories: contemporary and Biblical. The contemporary plays, such as &lt;i&gt;Christmas Unwrapped &lt;/i&gt;and &lt;i&gt;Believe!&lt;/i&gt;, address the true meaning of the season in creative and lighthearted ways sure to charm your audiences. Biblical Christmas plays run the gamut from a poignant retelling of the Nativity story in &lt;i&gt;Jason&amp;rsquo;s Gift &lt;/i&gt;to the powerful &lt;i&gt;While Shepherds Watched &lt;/i&gt;and the comedic yet meaningful &lt;i&gt;If Angels Were Mortals &lt;/i&gt;and &lt;i&gt;Life 101&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally, Pioneer Drama Service has many adaptations of the Christmas classics, such as &lt;i&gt;A Christmas Carol&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Babes in Toyland, Snow Child &lt;/i&gt;and even O&amp;rsquo;Henry&amp;rsquo;s &lt;i&gt;Gift of the Magi&lt;/i&gt;. For something familiar yet refreshingly different, you&amp;rsquo;ll love our classics with a twist&amp;mdash;&lt;i&gt;A Modern Christmas Carol &lt;/i&gt;and the Christmas musical &lt;i&gt;Bah, Humbug!&lt;/i&gt; are just two examples.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No matter what you&amp;rsquo;re looking for in Christmas plays for churches, schools or community theatres, you&amp;rsquo;ll find it here at Pioneer Drama Service!&lt;/p&gt;</Description>
