Celebrate several end-of-year holidays with this inclusive 30-minute musical for unison or 2-part singers. What do all of these holidays have in common? Candlelight! Nine de-"light"-ful original songs (sung by the full cast) are connected by an entertaining and informative rhyming script (for 1--48 speakers). Dress performers as individual tapers in various colors to represent Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Advent, and Diwali. Feel free to add songs and rhymes about other cultural traditions in your community to this flexible-by-design presentation. Staging suggestions and production notes are included. Recommended for grades three and up.
