Christmas Served Here
It is the day of Eleanor's annual church Christmas dinner for the poor and she has brought along her new boyfriend, Leo, to meet her grown granddaughter, Jane, for the first time. Jane has also brought along her new boyfriend, Bobby, to meet her grandmother. Unfortunately, they are so busy serving the dinner that the two couples do not get the chance for formal introductions. Through a series of misunderstandings, each person thinks the other is someone else entirely. Eleanor thinks Bobby is one of the homeless people while Bobby thinks Eleanor is a confused alcoholic and that Leo is her drunken boyfriend Jane thinks Leo is an insane stalker and Leo thinks Jane is a malicious thief. The confusion escalates until the final hilarious confrontation. Here's the perfect play to serve after your own church's banquet or to perform as a special event to thank all your hard-working volunteers. Performance time: About 40 minutes.
