The Twelve Plays of Christmas: a Dozen Sketches for Yuletide Occasions

(Lillenas Publications). Filling the request for more sketches for Christmas, Martha Bolton's The Twelve Plays of Christmas proves to be as worthy as its predecessor, Tangled in the Tinsel . A collection of sketches and monologues based on the popular classic carol, each script can be performed individually or together as a full evening of entertainment. The reason for the season is brought to life through such themes and topics as reconciling with family, giving, holiday burnout, and more. Sketches run 3 to 8 minutes in length.
