Christmas at the O.K. Corral

The townspeople of Snowy Gulch prepare to celebrate Christmas with their annual festival at the O.K. Corral on the edge of town. The local bad guy, Bubble Gum Bart, who is very annoyed by all the noise and happiness, tries to stop the celebration by threatening to cover the whole town in bubble gum. Frightened and desperate, the people send an urgent telegram to Santa Claus for help. Santa responds by sending the Candy Cane Kid to the rescue. The Kid confronts Bart at sundown on Christmas Eve at the O.K. Corral, upon which Bart admits that he doesn't really hate Christmas but that he's lonely and feels left out. The townspeople welcome Bart to the celebration, which turns out to be the best one ever! What could be more fun than dressing up your little ones in old-time western garb and letting them ham it up in this joyous musical? Like all of Teresa Jennings' primary musicals, it is designed to work with almost any number of singers and actors, and the short lines make it easy to teach. The teacher's handbook includes creative suggestions for costumes and staging, reproducible posters and program covers. The performance kit contains the teacher's handbook, reproducible student editions, and a P/A CD. This musical will give your young students a positive experience that they will cherish for years to come! Grades K-4. 25 minutes.
