Basic Plot: When 2 overly creative (and a bit eccentric) choir directors attempt to whip a group of volunteer Christmas carolers into shape with one rehearsal things get a little out of hand. But don’t worry, this improv act is both merry and bright!
Genre: Comedy
Male, Female or Either: 8-30 participants, all can be either
Length of skit: 4-8 minutes
★This Improv Skit was written as part of a themed stage performance for sale on Teachers Pay Teachers titled Variety Show Bundle “Christmas Surprises.”
★Find the MAD Society Pinterest board titled Variety Show Bundles “Christmas Surprises” for costume ideas and more!
Who: This is an opportunity for the entire cast and crew to provide their own costumes, improv acting and energy to the Variety Show, drama club gathering or group bonding event.
What: This is a performance that 2 designated actors will be ready to lead, while the rest of the cast and crew participate, acting along with the 2 designated leading actors as they give prompts. There is no prep work unless you want to add costumes or props, but you don’t have to. It should be spontaneous.
Why: This is an act that will provide more content for your Variety Show without the typical prep work of a play or skit. It’s also wonderful for bonding within the group to do something all together and include the stage crew.
When: This ‘act’ will be integrated into the Variety Show performance line up to provide uniqueness to the feel of the show.
Where: This ‘act’ will be performed on stage, as a group, possibly with some audience participation.
