WHAT THE DICKENS
HAPPENED... - #1337 What in the Dickens Happened to
Scrooge? By Jerry Cowling 6 m, 4 w (optional chorus for one
carol) This Christmas the folks affected by Ebenezer Scrooge's
miserly ways hatch a plan to get him intoxicated and act out his
life before his miserly little eyes, and force him to become "the
most generous soul in London." That night as Scrooge imbibes
"exceptionally fine" tea, the Cratchits and friends present several
funny and poignant scenes of Christmases past, present, and future.
Laughs abound as they try to convert the curmudgeon. Everyone's
having a grand escapade but crafty old Scrooge isn't as drunk as he
pretends. Amid the fun, each character learns a little more about
himself and each is changed for the better, as is Scrooge. The next
morning, they all celebrate and Tiny Tim toasts, "God helps those
who help themselves. I mean God bless us, everyone." Warm hearted
and lively, this full-length play is sure to bring the Christmas
spirit to your audience. #1337
