Set The set requirements for this musical are fairly simple. But please make every effort to create a fun, colorful and "kid friendly" backdrop for your presentation. It is all a reflection of our great God and His love gift to us (Jesus) at Christmas. First take into account the platform area you will be using and how it is de- signed. If possible, place your choir risers to the right and to the left, leaving the center stage clear for the drama, soloists and any additional choreography or sign language moments you will be featuring. This is also where the manger scene will take place. A colorful toy store sign should be hung up high and upstage. The tree lot is in front of the toy store. String some Christmas tree lights around your tree lot or the entire stage. Place about a dozen trees of various sizes around the set. Remember too that Jacob and Lucas carry several trees onto the set. Next find a spot for the bake sale table; if necessary, it can be off to a side. Place a colorful tablecloth with an assortment of goodies on it. Add a bake sale sign with balloons too. Think about possibly staging it so that Addison and Gwen carry baskets with goodies to the center to sing "Christmas Bake Sale Boogie." Keep in mind that Mr. Carmichael and some of the other cast members will be carrying on gifts that they have purchased during the presentation. Decide where these gifts are going to be placed. Costumes Note: The musical is set outside in the cold in December, but big coats would be very distracting and unnecessary on the children. The audience will get the picture if your main cast wears colorful scarfs, mittens, and Christmas sweaters. Mr. Carmichael: Professional suit with a Christmas tie. Jacob and Lucas: Plaid button up lumberjack looking shirts with jeans. Karly: Colorful Christmas sweater with Elsa on it. Abigail: Christmas sweater and she carries a clipboard. Gwen and Addison: Red and green Christmas aprons with pictures of cupcakes and hot chocolate on the front. Police Man: Locate a police man costume from a costume store. Mother: Winter coat and hat. Choir: For a unified look, you may have the choir wear t-shirts with the musical logo on them. An iron-on transfer of the logo is included in the Kids Fun Pak (45757-2929-5). Another option is to have the choir in various Christmas sweaters. 97 For Preview Only
