A Holiday Musical For Young Voices

Christmas is approaching, and the elves are exhausted and tired of the cold. A few days of R-and-R in the warm island sun is just what they need - snorkeling, collecting seashells, building sand castles, catching a wave behind that huge pirate ship. What? Pirates?! ARRRR!! Ahoy, mates! Get ready for one mighty adventure when the legendary White Beard (aka Santa) and the elves teach a salty crew of colorful scallywags all about true treasure.

Upper elementary and middle school performers will have a rollicking good time with this 40-minute holiday spectacular that features eight original songs for unison voices and a script with over 75 speaking parts easily adapted to casts of varying sizes. The Teacher's Edition also includes choreography, a helpful production guide, and teaching objectives linked to the National Standards for each song. Songs include:

• Island Christmas
• Pirates All Are We
• Give And Take
• White Beard
• Cool To Be Cool!
• Christmas Joy
• Blimey Carols
• A Pirates' Christmas
