Synopsis
The Daughter of St Nicholas
Published by Dramatic Publishing
3 Male 3 Female
Sergei, as warmhearted off-stage as on, plays St Nicholas, and Misha plays his sidekick
Irina plays the nervous usher who must "go on" as the front half of the reindeer, with the introvert, Igor, playing the rear
Add to the mix Old Popo, the ancient curtain puller who may or may not hear the cues, three little girls from the "audience" who appear as dancing snowflakes, and a half-starved street urchin with stage fright who fits the rabbit costume perfectly and discovers a home on the stage
Playing Snegorka is the star, Vayla, beautiful, temperamental and perhaps too old for the part
When Vayla, in an off-stage fit of pique, trips over a chair and breaks her leg, she is replaced by the reluctant Ludi, the kind, shy, stage-struck dresser, who goes on as Snegorka and saves the show
Your audience will enjoy the drama, romance, holiday fun and a peek at the backstage world of theater
Unit set - runs about 65 minutes
