The bells of ol' Ring-A-Ding Town have stopped ringing! Why? Because everyone who lives there has completely lost their holiday spirit. With all the pressures of the season, they have become so comically grumpy that even the bells refuse to ring. When a severe winter storm pounds the village with ice, wind and snow, the grumpy citizens are reminded how much they need each other. They also rediscover how rewarding it can be to share and care for one another in the true spirit of the season. When peace, love and joy returns to warm their hearts, the bells of Ring-A-Ding Town ring in a new season of Peace on Earth Goodwill for all! This comical 25-minute holiday musical features five original songs and easy-to-learn rhyming dialog with over 30 speaking parts. The enhanced Teacher Edition includes piano/vocal arrangements with choreography, helpful production guide with staging and costume suggestions, PLUS an enclosed CD-ROM with reproducible singer and speaking parts.
