Shepherds Who Gather

The Shepherds are a family in name only. Tyler, a minister who's lost sight of his calling, and Dylan, a cynical news reporter who rejects all religion, are brothers who cannot get along even when their parents and wives try to get them to work out their differences. Needless to say, fireworks are set when Dylan is assigned to cover the Christmas cantata at Tyler's church where a well-known (but self-centered) gospel singer is going to appear. When every detail has to be perfect, everything that can go wrong does. But thanks to the help of a stranger named Mary, more than one soul is saved this Christmas Eve. Like the first Christmas when Jesus' birth brought the shepherds of the field together, God brings these Shepherds together, too. Performance time: 50 minutes.
