Elementary Christmas Concert Script: Is Santa Getting A New Wardrobe?
The Colours of Christmas is the story of Santa’s “new look”. The head elf hires an image consultant to give Santa a makeover, but this proves to be more difficult than it might seem! The image consultant and his/her assistants come up with a number of new outfits in different colours for Santa to try. (Accompanied by a Christmas song featuring that colour). In the end, it’s the elves who save the day by coming to the realization that maybe Santa didn’t need that much updating after all.

It’s really hard to find high quality scripts for children that are both appropriate for the performers and entertaining for the audience. As both a teacher and an experienced musical theatre performer, I was disappointed by what was available… so I started writing my own! These scripts are based around genuine characters that encourage good acting skills from the students, and songs that are woven meaningfully right into the story with natural dialogue. (Instead of announcing, “now the kindergarten class will sing…” the songs are used as part of the story, as they would in a Broadway musical.)
The goal of these concert scripts I have written is to allow groups of students (classes, choirs, etc) to perform individual musical numbers while having an actual story to connect the performances together. This makes the resulting show easier to rehearse, but avoids the “rotating stage” style of concert. We know that the parents come to see their kids, but there’s no reason we can’t entertain them at the same time!
