It’s Christmas Eve, but the members of Fairlawn Church of the Good Shepherd have somehow found themselves waiting in the town jail until the Justice of the Peace can hear their case. It all started when the small country church decided to put on a “living” Nativity for the community. The simple, good-natured church members truly meant no harm. Yet, when one of them decides to convert his mule, Jasper, into a camel, things go awry and the entire Nativity ends up getting arrested and charged with everything from animal cruelty to arson. Their chaotic and hysterical story unfolds as the members plead their case before the Justice of the Peace, trying to justify their actions, which they learn is their true witness for Christ. Lots of laughter combined with a meaningful message makes this fast and easy show an absolute delight!
