Night Before, The

HOLIDAY FARCE. It’s the night before Christmas and all through the house, there’s a creature stirring, but it isn’t a mouse! Sound asleep, Remy and Vida awaken when they hear a loud crash. As Remy searches the house in the dark, he encounters Santa Claus, mistakes him for a burglar, and accidentally shoots him. When Remy calls the police to report that Santa has been shot, the police just think he’s had a few too many Christmas cocktails. Not knowing what to do, Vida suggests hiding Santa’s body in the freezer or living as fugitives in Paraguay. But with a little bit of blackmail, a smidgeon of vengeance, a recumbent bicycle, and a 50-inch high-definition TV, Remy celebrates his best Christmas ever! This short holiday play is easy to stage and will spread holiday laughter—guaranteed!
