Synopsis

Mrs. Wallace informs her class that one student will be randomly chosen to make up a story and tell it to the Christmas assembly.

All students beg to be picked except for Redheaded Robbie/Robin, whose words come out funny whenever he/she is nervous.

Robbie/Robin is selected, and he/she asks Big Eddie, Cool Katie, and Munching Max for help.

These friends suggest stories about presents, parties and pranks, but Robbie/Robin reminds them that Christmas is for sharing, kindness and forgiveness.

At the Christmas assembly, Robbie/Robin tries to speak, but the words come out wrong.

Big Eddie, Cool Katie, and Munching Max take the stage and tell how they were visited by a redheaded angel (Robbie/Robin).

After Robbie/Robin’s visit, Max shared presents, Katie befriended a lonely girl, and Max forgave his sister.

The assembly ends with tears and applause for Robbie/Robin, his friends, and their wonderful Christmas story.

Press Reviews

"It's a wonderful story about friendship and how friends can help each other… For a child with a disability to be loved and appreciated by his friends is a noble message, and Mr. Luttrell tells it well."
— Penelope Reed, Producing Artistic Director at Hedgerow Theatre (Media, PA)

"The good news is Redheaded Robbie’s Christmas Story is no Catcher in the Rye. It is no indictment of hypocrites, phonies, or society in general. Robbie’s message is as corny as it is sweet; give, forgive and be nice. And something else Robbie has over Holden Caulfield: He sings."
— Gil Spencer, Delaware County Daily Times
