Play Summaries
A traveler called the Seeker searches for eight gifts that seem to be missing in the world: Hope, Gratitude, Forgiveness, Joy, Peace, Love, Patience, and Wonder. Each scene is a modern snapshot—a crowded store on a business day, a quarrel reconciled, a rehearsal where a single carol becomes prayer. It ends at the manger where every gift finds its home in Christ.
Three wise men set out to follow a shining star and find the newborn King — but the journey doesn’t go as planned.
Melchior’s camel breaks down. Caspar’s “StarTracker App” leads them in circles. Balthazar just wants to get there before the incense expires.
Their misadventures take them through deserts, palaces, and chaos until they finally arrive at the humble stable that changes everything.
When strange reports spread through Bethlehem — angels in the sky, shepherds leaving their sheep, a mysterious star hovering over a barn — the Bethlehem Bureau of Inquiry swings into action.
A team of skeptical “wise guys” sets out to debunk the Christmas story, armed with clipboards, magnifying glasses, and overconfidence. They interrogate witnesses, interview animals, and demand “proof.”
But the deeper they investigate, the more their logic unravels. Between an overly talkative sheep, an anxious innkeeper, and a suspiciously calm carpenter, the Bureau finds themselves in over their heads — and maybe, just maybe, in the middle of a miracle.
Heaven’s “Prayer Response Department” is in full swing during Christmas week — and things are busier than ever! The angels are buried in prayer requests, the servers are overloaded, and the well-meaning intern keeps pressing all the wrong buttons.
Between misplaced blessings, accidental revivals, and a few divine surprises, the angels learn that God doesn’t need their perfect systems — He just wants their trust.
Meanwhile on Earth, a lonely woman named Ruth prays for company on Christmas Eve.
Through small acts of kindness and Heaven’s gentle nudge, she finds that God is closer than she ever realized.
The House of David Inn has become the talk of Bethlehem — for all the wrong reasons.
After a string of terrible reviews (“zero stars,” “pillow felt like a bag of olives”), the over-worked Innkeeper and his sarcastic Assistant are desperate to restore the inn’s reputation before an infamous travel critic arrives.
As a census crowd floods the city, the lobby turns into a madhouse of bickering guests, lost luggage, and farm animals on the loose. Into this chaos walk Mary and Joseph, tired and expecting a child. With no rooms left, the Innkeeper scrambles to find them a spot — not realizing that the “overflow space” behind his inn will become the most important birthplace in history.
Through frantic comedy, sharp banter, and quiet moments of grace, Christmas at the Inn reminds audiences that holiness often hides in ordinary places, and that real hospitality begins with an open heart.

The Porch Light (45 Minutes)
It’s the night of Maple Street Church’s Christmas supper and children’s pageant. In the middle of casseroles, cables, and last-minute halos, an unlit porch light across the street becomes a running symbol of distance and welcome. A single mom and her teen (new to church), a stubborn but soft Deacon, a prayer-warrior widow, a caffeinated youth director, and a laid-back tech lead discover that Christ still comes to ordinary places—buffet lines, fellowship halls, and front porches. By night’s end, a porch light is switched on, an empty cradle becomes a sign of “room made,” and the congregation sings by candlelight with hearts a little wider.
A TV crew scrambles to film a live special. Angels can’t find parking, shepherds selfie the star, and one wise man insists on paying in crypto. The director demands ratings; the interns just want the Christmas spirit back. In the final act, a simple cradle on an empty stage outshines every camera.
When a winter storm knocks out the power on Christmas Eve, a tech-addicted family finds themselves completely unplugged—no Wi-Fi, no phones, no distractions.
Forced to actually talk to one another (gasp!), they rediscover laughter, honesty, and the true light of Christmas that never goes out.
What begins as a stressful, screenless night soon turns into a series of heartfelt revelations. Between candlelight, board games, old carols, and a forgotten Bible, the Kirkland family and their neighbors learn that when the world goes dark, Christ’s light still shines.
“The Heart of Christmas” follows two affluent siblings, Roger and Sharon, whose stolen gifts trigger a journey from greed to grace. At a school party they mock a new classmate, Peter, a poor kid who loves Jesus. Through Scripture, simple re-enactments (the lame man healed, the blind man seeing, Stephen’s forgiveness), and Peter’s quiet courage—even offering a handmade cross to the bully—the teens realize Christmas is bigger than stuff. When Peter’s mother falls critically ill, Roger and Sharon choose generosity over getting, rally friends (including the reformed bully) and witness a Christmas miracle that softens their parents’ hearts too. Designed for youth groups or schools, this contemporary, faith-forward drama blends humor, testimony scenes, and carols to teach that the true gift of Christmas is daily, Christlike love—carried beyond December 25 into everyday life.
In this fast-paced, heartfelt comedy, a group of ordinary shepherds who can’t stop talking about angels and a newborn Savior are placed under “witness protection” by celestial agents who need to keep them safe from King Herod’s spies. The problem? The shepherds are terrible at keeping secrets.
