to make her dreams come true.
But she is not
the only person who is looking for the prize at the Extravaganza, so is
Professor Hunkle and his niece, Mary. Who knows that they are willing to do to
be the person who wins?

ROLES
PROFESSOR HINKLE
is a magician and toy maker who is trying to make his fortune. He loves doing
magic tricks but he is not very good. Things like pulling a mackerel out of his
hat rather than a rabbit. _The performer needs to be able to do a variety of
magic tricks some successful but some bad._
MARY HINKLE is
Professor Hinkle's niece. She is an orphan her parents were killed in a car
accident and lives with he uncle but he is too busy with his work to really pay
much attention to her so she tries to find ways to make him notice her. She is
jealous of Karen and tries to steal the snow seeds for her uncle so that he
might be successful in the Santa Claus Spectacular.
JINGLE BELZ is
one of Santa's favorite elves. He has a great personality and is the Ryan
Seacrest of the North Pole. He is also the keeper of the snow seeds. He is good
friends with Frosty. They met after that first year when Frosty came to the
North Pole after being awakened by the magic hat. He introduced Frosty to the
snow seeds, which help to keep him from melting when he is away from the cold
of the North Pole. He is the announcer for the Santa Claus Spectacular.
KAREN JONES is
the young girl who helped Frosty find his way to the North Pole. She is now a
young woman who has big plans for her life but she does not have a lot of
support. She wants to be a teacher and teach music but doesn't have the money
to support herself and if she wins this contest will be able to put herself
through school so that she can help others do what she has always wanted to
do... sing. She thinks that Frosty is helping her be a better performer by
sprinkling her with snow seeds... in reality she has lots of talent just not
much confidence.
FROSTY THE
SNOWMAN is a very happy soul, with a corncob pipe and a button nose and two
eyes made out of coal. He is everyone's friend and is always there to lend a
hand. He is Karen's friend and is trying to support her in her performance. He
knows she has lots of talent she just needs to find the confidence.
Note all
performers have to be comfortable singing and being able to move (dance).
