Tommy's Thanksgiving dinner

A short stage play designed for young performers dramatizes a boy's Thanksgiving-day reverie, with the foods and dishes at his anticipated meal personified as costumed characters. The script combines rhymed lines, simple dialogue, and clear stage directions and costume notes to guide production, introducing figures such as a turkey, a bowl of soup, cranberry maids, vegetables, and a cookbook. Scenes emphasize movement, songlike speech, and playful banter as the characters parade, sing brief verses, and enact their fear of becoming dinner. The compact piece functions as an elementary-school pageant, easily staged with minimal scenery and child-friendly costumes.
