Christmas Play/Program/Readers' Theater (Let's Celebrate the Savior)
I am so excited to be able to share this Christmas Play/Readers’ Theater with you.

Little did I know that God had much bigger plans in mind–He would be using this play for His glory in churches and schools all around!
You will see interludes where our Kidz Choir performs songs in between each scene. We perform this play as a musical.
