I did How The Penguins Saved Christmas two years ago. I stacked boxes in different shapes and threw sheets over them to look like icebergs. I used trash bags for penguin suits, white collars, and little red Christmas bows. The emperor had a sparkling top hat, gold waistcoat, and a candy cane cane from the dollar store. I had the emperor and others march in from a side door up to the stage. One group was seated on the steps of the stage, who then stood to play their kazoos. I thought it was very easy to do and fun!
