Christmas Musical Youth by Elizabeth May Willson

Even the sheep sing in this heartwarming original musical drama, although it is serious about presenting the true Christmas story with a salvation message. In answer to her granddaughter's questions, a grandmother reads Luke, Chapter 2, and as she does the whole story unfolds on stage.

Performance time: About 35 minutes.
