A Christmas Story-Inspired Musical For Kids

Here we are in the sleepy little village of Bethlehem. But in this tiny town something huge and miraculous is about to happen… the birth of the Messiah! Right in the midst of all the action is an irresistibly intrepid and indefatigable group of orphans who reside at the Inn of Bethlehem. Meet Starr, Zoolie, John Luke, Gertie, Magnus, and Blake (oh, and shepherds Zeke and Ziggy). Along with Trixie, who runs the inn, this lovable ragamuffin group of characters will delight as they unveil the story of Christmas and how God sent His only Son to be born. The musical has six large roles (8-32 lines), four medium roles (3-8 lines), two tiny roles (1-2 lines), four non-speaking roles, eight options for solos or special singing combination opportunities, and additional choir roles for orphans, angel backup singers, disco '70s angels, and animal choir. As eyewitnesses to the holy, blessed event, their special re-telling of the story is sure to shine a bright new light on the importance of our Savior's birth. (Unison/2-Part)
