In February 1940, a young girl in Iowa pulled the name of a pen pal out of a hat. That name was Anne Frank. There was a brief correspondence before the Nazis invaded The Netherlands. The play is a coming-of-age reflection of that time from 1940-1942. While Nina and Jeannie strive to be “citizens of the world” in their tiny town of Danville, Anne and Margot try to live their lives in a world that doesn’t want them.

A trial is being conducted in Candy Cane Courthouse and your audience is the jury! To the shock of everyone, young Jim Dandy has called Christmas spirit ’a lot of nonsense.’ Facing a Christmas court of justice, Jim intends to defend himself. He has his task cut out for him as a colorful parade of Christmas personalities try to prove him wrong, including reindeer-in-training, an angel from atop a Christmas tree, wise men and holiday shoppers. Even Mrs. Cratchit and Tiny Tim make an appearance. It’s up to the Toy Maker to discover why Jim is acting so strangely. The answer involves a teddy bear and some bad kids who aren’t so bad after all. You’ll be surprised at how the verdict is reached. Naturally, Santa Claus makes an appearance and the show ends with everyone singing ’Jingle Bells.’ If you’re looking for something different, this is the ideal holiday play. Not only is it delightful and entertaining, it is also easy to perform with a role for everybody.
