"SCROOGE MAKES UP!" A 45 minute one-act Christmas comedy with a flexible cast of 15! (5M, 6F plus 4 that can be either. Extras as carolers, if desired. Can also be performed with an all-female cast) Young store clerk, Ebenezer Scrooge, rounds up grocery carts in a supermarket parking lot, one stormy Christmas Eve, and gets hit head-on by a bus-load of senior citizens! Poor Ebenezer is hospitalized, missing Christmas, and spending an entire year in a body cast! Fast forward to the present... Ebenezer, now a bitter adult (who hates Christmas and shopping carts), is president of "Scrooge and Marley Cosmetics," a company whose toxic face cream poisoned his partner, "Makeup Marley," and disfigured employee, Bobbie Cratchit's daughter, "Tiny Kim", so severely that she wears a paper bag over her head. But, no matter...at least profits are up! But things are about to change, when this Christmas Eve, Ebenezer is visited by his partner's ghost. Carrying a long, chain, Marley tells Scrooge that "Mallmart", and those other superstores have cut a deal with the "Big Guy Upstairs," granting him a deep discount in exchange for free ghostly labor. Marley and the other misfortunates are doomed to roam the afterlife, chaining together loose shopping carts from parking lots around the world! And now, an angel has been spotted embroidering Ebenezer's name on a "Coshko" smock! Can Scrooge change his ways before he suffers the same horrific fate?!! With few props, minimal scenery and a host of loony ghosts, and daffy characters, this easy-to-produce show is sure-fire holiday fun for schools and community theater groups!
