Description

A lively anthology of short, festive stageworks invites performers of all ages to celebrate the calendar’s most beloved days. Each piece is crafted as a single act, making it easy to program in schools, community centers, or family gatherings. The collection covers New Year’s, Valentine’s, Easter, Halloween, Christmas and even a child’s birthday, offering a fresh theatrical spark for every occasion.

Among the offerings, Father Time and his Children brings the months to life with vivid costumes and playful choreography, while Tertulla’s Garden weaves a gentle miracle of love for Valentine’s Day. A medieval test of chivalry brightens Halloween, and Princess Moss Rose transforms a birthday party into a world of wonder. Simple sets, optional music and flexible staging let groups adapt the humor and heart of each script to their own resources, promising an entertaining and memorable celebration each time the curtain rises.
