Escape to Christmas Class Play

Escape to Christmas Class Play. Have you ever pondered the meaning of the expression ‘the grass is always greener on the other side’ … even when it’s covered in the snow?! Well, Christmas is as good a time as any to find out – as do our cast of eight zoo animals with a little help (albeit unintentionally) from their eight elf counterparts. Enjoy!

The cast of 16 – is easily increased by the addition of extra elves

Duration – around 20 minutes

Sample Text:

Lion:                      I guess we could find some common ground.

Tiger:                     Maybe we could work together.

Giraffe:                You’re having a giraffe? I mean, a laugh?

Polar Bear:          Exactly! You needn’t think I’m dressing up in some silly costume!

Hippopotamus: Prancing around in tights! The very thought!

Seal:                      You can count me out!

Parrot:                  I’m not about to jingle on one leg .. or even two!

Monkey:              (Thoughtfully) Oh, I don’t know! I’ve always rather fancied the idea of dressing up, fooling around.

(To Hippopotamus) And you know what? I think you’d look rather good in tights!

(To Polar Bear) And as for you? I thought Baloo looked rather good in that tutu.

(To all the animals) And we all know how to party, right?

Lion:                      (Growling irritably) So, what are you suggesting?
