The Perfect Gift

A Christmas musical by Dan Zigler and Elton Smith
In English / Em Português / En Español / Photos

This play is our Christmas gift to you. We carefully selected some of our original Christmas songs and built the play around them. When we discovered a missing song, we wrote the duet sung by Mary and Elizabeth in Scene 3. Please tell your church drama group and music director about our site.

This play and the songs within it are freely available for non-profit use by churches and other organizations. The songs are registered with CCLI. We do not require CCLI membership in order to use them.

I just wanted to say a very special thank you to Songs of Praise for publishing your play material on line. So many of our church members wanted to be involved in a Christmas play and I was at a loss trying to locate a drama/musical play that seemed to suit our needs. God used your website to answer my prayers of a small country church. We ran the play two nights and the following Sunday morning, a lady who was visiting came forward in tears and said that God had touched her heart in a way she had never been touched before thanks to the special words written in "The Perfect Gift" Christmas play. - Kathy Hutcherson, Choateville Christian Church

Dear brother, Last sunday, we've done the play. It was wonderful, everyone went home blessed and 4 souls were born again for the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Many of unbelievers saw the play, and I'm sure that in the next weeks they will return to surrender themselves to Jesus. God Bless your work as Authors, and I hope that we had completed it turning it into practice. Blessings in Christ Jesus. Faithfully yours, Henrique Morais, 18 December 2001

Just want to let you know that the play was performed on Saturday evening and it was a total success!! Everyone loved it! The children did a wonderful job! We had a lot of non-christian visitors that evening and they left our temple so rejoiced and blessed!!! - Karina Ramirez, December 19, 2005
