W | S Casting FRIEDA SIDES Freida is vain and girly and talks about her Naturally Curly Red hair. Side #1 Frieda (Bouncing her curls in her hand) Did innkeepers’ wives have naturally curly hair? Side #2 Frieda I can’t go on. There’s too much dust. It’s taking the curl out of my naturally curly hair. Charlie Brown Don’t think of it as dust. Think of it as maybe the soil or some great, past civilization. Maybe the soil of ancient Babylon. It staggers the imagination. You may be carrying soil that was trod upon by Solomon. Or even Nebuchadnezzar. Pig Pen Sort of makes you want to treat me with more respect, doesn’t it? Frieda You’re an absolute mess. Just look at yourself. VIOLET & PATTY SIDES Violet is not very nice. She thinks Charlie Brown is a walking disaster. Patty (not Peppermint Patty) is Violet's best friend who talks about how much they don't like Charlie Brown. Charlie Brown Thanks for the Christmas card you sent me, Violet. Violet I didn’t send you a Christmas card, Charlie Brown. Patty Try to get snowflakes on your tongue. It’s fun. Violet Oh no, we’re doomed! Patty This will be the worst Christmas play ever. Patty Yeah. Do something right for a change, Charlie Brown. Violet Boy, are you stupid, Charlie Brown. Patty What kind of a tree is that? Violet I told you he’d goof it up. He’s not the kind you can depend on to do anything right. Patty You’re hopeless, Charlie Brown. FRANKLIN & PIG PEN SIDES Lucy Franklin, you’re a shepherd. FRANKLIN Every Christmas it’s the same. I always end up playing a shepherd. PIG PEN Pig Pen is known for being constantly dirty, insulted constantly by everybody. He is very cool and accepts himself regardless. Side #1 Lucy Pig Pen, you’re the innkeeper. Pig Pen In spite of my outward appearance, I shall try to run a neat inn. Side #2 Frieda I can’t go on. There’s too much dust. It’s taking the curl out of my naturally curly hair. Charlie Brown Don’t think of it as dust. Think of it as maybe the soil or some great, past civilization. Maybe the soil of ancient Babylon. It staggers the imagination. You may be carrying soil that was trod upon by Solomon. Or even Nebuchadnezzar. Pig Pen Sort of makes you want to treat me with more respect, doesn’t it? Frieda You’re an absolute mess. Just look at yourself. (Frieda hands her hand mirror to Pig Pen) Pig Pen On the contrary, I didn’t think I looked that good. Piano / Vocal CHARLIE BROWN XMAS 8.
