Story of the Play:
John Dale hasn't enjoyed a "real Christmas" for years. So, on the spur of the
moment, he decides to "rent" a Christmas from Anne Weston, who owns the local
rent shop. Anne is at first flustered with the requirements: a tree with
presents, Christmas carols and also a wife and five children. Anne feels she has
solved the problem of a Christmas family by calling the actors' guild. But the
young actors come down with the measles so she turns to the local orphanage.
When the guild can't locate a "mother," Anne steps in to play the role herself.
Based on the short story by J. Lillian Vandervere, the story of how John Dale’s
rented Christmas turns into a new life for all concerned makes this a warm story
for the holiday season.
