WHY
IS THIS PLAY BEST FOR YOUR SCHOOL?
Written
especially for young people to perform.
While you may find large cast
plays from other publishers, most of those were originally written
for adults or
professional actors to
perform. They often contain difficult dialogue, unfamiliar or
complex language, and speeches too long for young children to
memorize. They may even contain jokes, innuendos and subject matter
that may not be appropriate for children.
Easy to
understand and memorize.
Dialogue is simple, fresh, quick
and humorous, keeping the action flowing without stops and starts
between scenes. This keeps young people and young audiences engaged
throughout the performance - no awkward pauses, no dead-time, no wiggles!
Everyone participates!
All children are involved
throughout the performance. This builds confidence, promotes team
spirit and eliminates rehearsal rowdiness. The audience is often
asked to join in the fun, and action often spills into the aisles!
All of our SCHOOL PLAYS give suggestions on how to divide up large
parts (such as Snow White or Cinderella) among several performers so
that no one child is the "star".
Familiar
stories with upbeat endings.
The story line stays as close as
possible to the familiar story the kids already know. While
some authors feel the need to "improve" the story, our
SCHOOL PLAYS stay as close to the familiar narrative as possible,
making it easier for children - and your audience - to understand.
Feel free
to edit! Go ahead and tape it!
Most publishers insist that no
changes may be made to their scripts. We know that your
goal is to engage every child in the most meaningful way and that
your needs are unique. Cut, eliminate, re-assign lines, or add
as much as you like! Also, there are no restrictions on video
tapes. Parents want a tape or DVD to remember their child's big
moment. Go ahead and tape away!

Kathryn Schultz Miller
is one the most prolific and most produced playwrights for
children. Her script, A THOUSAND CRANES, won the National
Endowment for the Arts Playwright Award (and countless others) at a
time when plays for children were not considered serious works. Now,
many of her published scripts are considered classics for young
audiences. When teachers voiced their need for great plays that
kids can perform Ms. Miller responded with ArtReach’s School
Plays: “I never dreamed I’d write for anyone other
than professionals. But writing for child performers has been
the most profound and rewarding experience of my life”. |

A
CHRISTMAS PETER PAN
A NOTE
FROM THE PLAYWRIGHT
In the
past few years we've seen a
tremendous increase of confidence in the teachers we hear from.
Most are finding it easier to let the process flow and worry less
about the final product. I firmly believe that the experience
will be best for all when you keep a few things in mind:
Free
yourself from worry about whether
or not it's "good". No one is paying big ticket
prices; no one expects a Broadway success. The key to making
this project meaningful is to put the emphasis on process; realize
that rehearsal and practice are as much a part of the experience as
the actual performance. Encourage fun and you will free the
children from embarrassment and stress. If the kids can't learn
the lines let them carry a script or use their own words to convey
the character's message. If they seem to wander the stage, let
them explore where they want to go - they might surprise you with a
wonderful idea. In every aspect of the process give them the
wings to create and think. Give them a comfortable, supportive
place to go and their confidence and self-expression will soar!
Above
all else, make sure you are
having fun. If you've never directed a play before, don't
worry. It's all just pretend -- you can't do it wrong!
The quality of your experience is every bit as important as that of
the children. You need the joy of self-expression too, that
doesn't go away when we grow up. So give yourself a break.
And when all else fails, laugh!
Thank you
so much for choosing A
Christmas
Peter Pan. I hope you
and your young friends have as much fun performing this play as I did
writing it.

MORNING SKY: And not far away in
Peppermint Cove...
STARSHINE: Captain Hook's boys were
hiding out...
(SOUND CUE #8: Pirate music. [sample]
PIRATES enter as their names are called
carrying mops, except for SMEE who carries the bucket. They can
dip their mops in bucket, later SMEE will use it for pudding pot.)
WHITEWING: The first pirate's name
was Tattoo Bill...
TATTOO BILL: (Pushes up sleeve and
flexes muscles, to audience.) Ha-ha! See my terrible
tattoos, you scallywags! Argg!
MORNINGSKY: Then came Skylights...
SKYLIGHTS: Ha-ha! See my
terrible glass eye! (Lifts eye patch.) Argg!
MOONDUST: Then Noodler whose hands
were fixed on backwards.
NOODLER: Ha-ha! See my terrible
hands that are fixed on backwards! Argg!
STARSHINE: Then Smee who was a
terrible, terrible cook!
SMEE: Ha-ha! Try my terrible,
terrible food! (He goes to audience in front row or
aisle seat and offers a spoonful of soup.) Have a taste of
my Pirate Plum Puddin'! (Puts wooden spoon to audience
member's mouth.) Terrible, isn't it? (audience
member agrees.) Argg!
(SKIP FORWARD TO NEXT SOUND CUE.
SOUND CUE #9: Deck the Halls [short
intro]. [sample]
SMEE leads PIRATES in song as they mop.)
ALL PIRATES: (Singing.)
Swab the deck and scrub the galley!
Fa la la la la la la la la la.
Tis the season to be rowdy!
Fa la la la la la la la la la.
We're the pirates of the season!
Fa la la la la la la la la la.
Join us now in merry treason!
Fa la la la la la la la la la.
(SOUND CUE ENDS. All PIRATES
except SMEE exit.)
WHITEWING: But there was one pirate
more terrible than all the others put together...
SMEE: Psst! Coast is clear, Captain!
(CAPTAIN HOOK sticks his head out, looking
around cautiously, sniffing for enemies.)
CAPTAIN HOOK: No Indians?
SMEE: No.
CAPTAIN HOOK: No children?
SMEE: No!
CAPTAIN HOOK: No cro... cro... crocodile?
SMEE: No sir, Captain! Haul him in!
(CAPTAIN HOOK pulls on rope, tugging in his
bounty: PETER PAN wrapped in ropes with gag in his mouth.
PETER PAN struggles and makes muted sounds while SMEE and CAPTAIN
HOOK tie him to the Christmas tree.)
CAPTAIN HOOK: Ha-ha, Peter Pan!
What's the matter there, Peter? Looks like you're a little tied
up at the moment!
SMEE: You just had to get an eyeful
of old Santy, didn't ya?
CAPTAIN HOOK: That's what I like
about you Peter. You'll never grow up.
(PETER PAN spits out his gag.)
PETER PAN: What have you done with
Santa, Hook?
CAPTAIN HOOK: Let's just say we've
got him on ice.
SMEE: Let's just say he's a little
under the weather.
CAPTAIN HOOK: Let's just say he's got
himself a little... cold!
(CAPTAIN HOOK and SMEE laugh uproariously.)
PETER PAN: Ice? Cold?
You've frozen Santa?
CAPTAIN HOOK: What else am I supposed
to do with all this ice we got up here at the North Pole, hmm?
PETER PAN: But you can't do
that! He's got toys to deliver! It's almost Christmas morning!
CAPTAIN HOOK: Christmas!
Christmas! Blast your blitherin' blubberin' Christmas!
It's over, Peter! All over!
CAPTAIN HOOK & SMEE: (Singing.)
On the worst day of Christmas we poked 'em in the brig!
We've captured Peter! We've frozen Santa!
We're gonna blow it! We're gonna sink it!
We're gonna crush it! We're gonna bash it!
Christmas beware!
No lousy trees!
No darned socks!
No toys for tots!
Stick it all in your jolly old ear!
(SOUND CUE ENDS.)
PETER PAN: That's all well and good
for me, Captain! But what do you think the Crocodile will think
of it?
CAPTAIN HOOK: (Suddenly terrified.)
Crocodile! Did you say Cro... cro... cro... Crocodile?
SMEE: Shut your claptrap!
Nobody says that around the Captain. Never say...
PETER PAN: What?
Crocodile??? Oh, that's right the Captain doesn't like
crocodiles does he? He's scared of the Crocodile, isn't he?
SMEE: Ever since that scallywaggin'
reptile ate his arm...
CAPTAIN HOOK: Arg! (Grabs
his hook, swoons with fear.) Ahhhrrrgggg!!!!
