MERRY CHRISTMAS CAPER

By D.K. Oklahoma

  • 9 characters: 4 males, 5 females (Includes two young adults 1M/1W)
  • Length: 60 minutes
  • Royalty: $20

Someone has broken into the Senior Center and stolen all the food for the holiday Meals on Wheels, including 23 canned hams. Two homeless runaways are discovered hiding in the Center’s attic and the Sewing Circle ladies are drawn into a potentially dangerous plan to shelter them over the holiday. Can they do all this and still finish their teddy bear project on time? And what if the Center’s nasty director discovers the fugitives?

This is a holiday play that’s filled with typical Senior Center characters. Some are caring and loving while others are pretentious and snippy. The situation pulls them all together so that the holiday season is good for everyone.
