2 Aubrey the Snowflake Musical Book by Marina Stockdale Music and lyrics by Martha Griffith
3 Aubrey the Snowflake The success of Marina Stockdale s William s Window, an introduction to Shakespeare s plays for young children, prompted her to write this modern, make-believe tale. With lively, contemporary-sounding music and lyrics by Martha T. Griffith, Aubrey the Snowflake will delight children of all ages. It provides an avenue for creative expression and role-playing with a potential for fun... Music is lively and simple for children to learn. (Brigham Young University s Children s Book and Play Review) Musical. Book by Marina Stockdale. Music and lyrics by Martha Griffith. Cast: flexible. There are roles for a cast of five to more than 100 to be portrayed by either men or women performers of any age. Aubrey is a snowflake in a hurry in such a hurry, in fact, that she floats to the ground before winter has really set in. And you know what happens to snowflakes when it gets warm. With the help of some friends, like the ice cream Buddy Bars, and in spite of some grumpy unfriends, like a cold, cold heart, Aubrey lives happily ever after all winter long as a dancing, glittering snowflake. Aubrey the Snowflake is designed to be extremely flexible in its staging and presentation. The piece can be presented by young children for their peers, or by adults for child audiences. The play s premier performances were done by elementary schoolchildren for their peers. Costumes and set may be elaborate or simple. Five delightful songs for children s voices, aged kindergarten and up. An entire class may be on stage. Approximate running time: 30 minutes. Music score available. Demo/accompaniment CD available.

12 AUBREY THE SNOWFLAKE [Bare stage. AT RISE: SPEAKERS 1, 2, 3, and 4 are lined up at Center, perpendicular to the curtain line, shielding AUBREY, who is behind them. Other actors, if used, are a"anged picturesquely around the stage (see Production Notes, p. 14)] SPEAKER 1. There was once a very happy- {Step Right] SPEAKER 2. -very eager- [Step Left} SPEAKER 3. -very excited snowflake- [Step Right} SPEAKER 4. -named Aubrey. [Step Left, revealing Aubrey. (NOTE: The entire play may be performed by these 5 actors. Distribute the following lines as needed to fit your cast.)} SPEAKER 5. He was a beautiful snowflake with snow crystals that shinunered like diamonds. [AUBREY moves Down Center, bows and kneels] SPEAKER 6. Aubrey was also a great friend. SPEAKER 7. When a bit more snow was needed for a snowball, the other snowflakes could count on Aubrey. SPEAKER 8. He was always ready for flurries and fun, especially this time of year. SPEAKER 9. The air was beginning to blow cool with a brisk nip. SPEAKER 10. This made Aubrey more eager- SPEAKER 11. -more excited- SPEAKER 12. -and happier than usual. SPEAKER 13. He knew that the cold chill meant he would soon be floating out of a winter sky to the ground below. SPEAKER 14. One day, as Aubrey drifted through the icy air on a puffy cloud, a snowdevil whirled before him. SPEAKER 15. He sprang to attention as that snowdevil spun wisps of fine powder on his cloud. SPEAKER 16. [Skeptically] Why was he so excited? A snowdevil is just a windy twirl of tiny SPEAKER 17. -tiny- SPEAKER 2. -tiny- [Move Down Left to Speaker 20] SPEAKER 4. -snowflakes. [Move Down Left to Speaker 2] SPEAKER 20. I know that. But Aubrey snowdevil grew in his eyes to a so eager that the simple
13 2 AUBREY THE SNOWFLAKE SPEAKER 21. [In a superior tone} You should never make a blizzard out of a snowdevil. SPEAKER 22. Well, Aubrey did! SPEAKER 23. His eyes were shining brightly as the wisps of fine powder spun on his cloud. AUBREY. [Jumping up} This is it! It's finally freezing cold, and that means it's time for the first snowfall. Yippee!! [He spins off Down Left} SPEAKER 24. And he leaped from the cloud and started his long trek to the ground. SPEAKER 10. Aubrey was absolutely thrilled. SPEAKER 26. He tried to decide what he'd do first. SPEAKER 27. Would he be part of a snowman?... SPEAKER or an igloo?... SPEAKER or perhaps he would merely rest on the branch of a large evergreen and listen to the steady sweep of an icy winter wind. Music No. 1: "WINTER" [AUBREY skips on from Up Center to Down Center during song's introduction. (NOTE: See Production Notes for suggestions for movement during the songs.)} AUBREY. [Singing} Winter! I can't wait for winter. I wonder where I'll be this year. In a snowman's ear, Or nose. SPEAKER 16. [Speaking} In his nose? AUBREY. [Speaking} Maybe toes. [AUBREY sings:} Winter! I'm ready for the winter. I'll sit like icing on a cake. Frosting on a lake That froze. CAST. [Singing} Winter! Tell me what could be better. There's nothing like winter weather To make you feel alive. I've always loved... [During this stanza any remaining CAST MEMBERS may enter from the back of the auditorium and march to the stage, splitting in two,
14 AUBREY THE SNOWFLAKE 3 with half going to the Down Right stairs and the other half to the Down Left stairs} AUBREY. [Singing} Winter! What could I be this winter? An igloo for an eskimo. There's so much snow can do. SPEAKER 18. [Speaking} You mean "snow much," don't you? AUBREY. [Speaking} Exactly! [Points to Speaker 18. Singing:] In winter! I'm really into winter. I wish that it would come to stay So I could play. Don't you! CAST. [Singing] Winter! Tell me what could be better. There's nothing like winter weather To make you feel alive. I've always loved Winter. [During this chorus, the entire CAST moves on stage forming a semicircle around Aubrey. They remain in this formation for the duration of the play except when playing specific roles. AUBREY spins off Down Left on applause] SPEAKER 13. Now Aubrey was so busy thinking about the winter wonderland to which he was floating that he didn't notice the air around him warming up. SPEAKER 21. I knew it! He jumped from his cloud too soon. I told him not to make a blizzard out of a snowdevil! SPEAKER 19. Down Aubrey drifted to the warmer earth below. SPEAKER 7. He soon spied a lovely, tawny, orange-colored leaf. It was the perfect spot to rest. SPEAKER 25. Down, down, down, then... [AUBREY spins to Center from Down Left. The LEAF spins to Center from Down (LEAF may be part of the cast circle, or a new actor)] CAST. PLOP!...[The CAST puts hands on knees. AUBREY and LEAF bump at Center] SPEAKER went Aubrey on the colorful maple leaf. LEAF. OUCH! AUBREY. Oh! I'm terribly sorry. I had no idea that I was so heavy.
15 4 AUBREY THE SNOWFLAKE LEAF. You're also awfully wet! AUBREY. Wet? LEAF. Yes, wet. Now move along before that nasty drip, drip, drip of yours ruins my beautiful colors. AUBREY. I don't understand. LEAF. What is there to understand? You're melting! Why on earth are you here so early? {LEAF brushes himself] AUBREY. Early? SPEAKER 28. For the first time, Aubrey looked around. [AUBREY slowly tums in a small circle during the next three speeches. He stares intently at his su"oundings] SPEAKER 8. The world he saw was not the winter wonderland he expected. Instead, Aubrey was face to face with the colors of late autumn. {The circle of ACTORS may wave wands with colorful autumn leaves or stream ers] SPEAKER 1. The maple leaf was right. He was the only snowflake in sight, and from the look of the growing puddle beneath him, Aubrey was melting. SPEAKER 21. {Haughtily] When you make a blizzard out of a snowdevil, you'll probably end up muddled in a puddle. AUBREY. What am I going to do? LEAF. Please, please, I can't be bothered with that soggy sniveling. I've problems of my own. Look down there on the ground. What do you see? {Points to floor] AUBREY. [Looks down] Leaves! LEAF. Look up here on this tree. What do you see? [Points to selfl AUBREY. {Looks at Leaf] Leaf! LEAF. Exactly! I'm the last leaf on the tree. I shake, shiver, rattle, and rustle, but I can't leave no matter how hard I try. Music No. 2: "LEAF'S SONG" LEAF. {Singing] It's the leaving time of year. All the other leaves have left me here. Just as lonely as can be. And I thought I wanted company Till you splashed down on me! AUBREY. {Speaking] I SAID I was sorry! LEAF. {Speaking] Don't interrupt. {Singing:] It's the time for leaves to leap.
