Me and my friend are putting on a a play on new years eve for family and family-friends. We need an idea for a short play. Last year we did Cinderella and it was great, but this year we are stumped for ideas. It should be relatively short (under 30 mins).We are girls btw, but we are willing to play any gender, and the play can't have probably more than 5 characters. Also, my lil bro can play small parts if needed. THANK YOU !!!!!

How about finding something about an old legend... something about an old New Years resolution that needs to be fulfilled before the new year or all the other resolutions people have completed with come undone! It can be a bargain a grandparent made with Father Time or the New Year's Baby or something.
hmmm, I'll have to see if I can think of anything better! Though it may be funny for your little bro to be a menacing Father Time or New Year's Baby (with a fake cigar?). You could look up The Best Christmas Pageant Ever and borrow ideas from that plot....
Theatre Docs ideas may be a lot easier to pull off. The stories of Hans Christian Andersen are royalty free I believe :-)
good luck,
Marianne

How about other fairy tales, rumplestiltskin, sleeping beauty, etc. Get a book of Grimm's fairy tales and find a story you like and dramatize it. Shoemaker and the elves is good. Also read Little Golden Books stories and see if you find one you like.
