Summary
A troupe of travelling performers arrives in town to present a Christmas play—but half their cast is missing. With enthusiasm, chaos, and theatrical flair, the players recruit the audience to act out animals, angels, townspeople, and even King Herod.

The performance ends with everyone gathered around a simple manger, remembering the heart of the Nativity.
