STORY OF THE PLAY

Five kids seek to discover the true meaning of Peace on Earth while they are confined to the inside of an elevator that has stopped in between floors. The story takes place on Christmas eve.

The script uses suggested recordings of songs: Linus and Lucy, by Vince Guaraldi from A Charlie Brown Christmas; I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day, by Henry W. Longfellow; You Gotta Get Up, by Rich Mullins from A Liturgy a Legacy and a Ragamuffin Band; and 7 O’Clock News/Silent Night, by Simon & Garfunkel from Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme.

The play incorporates the use of slides which are in two PowerPoint presentations. These are also available with the purchase of the script.
