65 - 75 minutes
3 W, 2 M, 1 Any (6-19 actors possible: 3-17 W, 2-16 M)
Set: The more areas that can be created and the more "Christmasy" the stage can be made to seem, the better. A moveable drape may be useful.

An elf-narrator leads the audience through a musical journey, encountering Santa, Tinkerbell, a man named Ebenezer, a mysterious young magician, and a wonderful, stringless puppet. This original farce, which draws from many sources, including A Christmas Carol, The Comedy of Errors, and Barrie's Peter Pan, is full of mistaken identities, disguises, and unexpected twists.

Published Reviews

"If farce at its best is a clever blend of the expected and the unexpected then True Magic deserves straight A's."

William Menezies, Brattleboro Reformer (Vermont)

"...a play that celebrates the fantasy of Christmas, where good feelings and happy endings abound, and where wishes have magic all their own."

Carolyn Wardle, Las Vegas Review-Journal

"True Magic casts a spell that's hard to resist."

Edith Decker, Grants Pass Daily Courier (Oregon)

"True Magic is light, family entertainment. The show is as comfortable as a Christmas stocking."

Al Reiss, The Mail Tribune (Oregon)
