The holidays are approaching and the members of St. Peter’s Church of Riverview have to choose: either spend Christmas Eve with some local orphans or hold their traditional celebration. While many are generous with material gifts, sacrificing their time is quite another matter. Add a famous New York talent agent looking to audition the two best singers in the congregation, and soon competing desires threaten to tear apart the harmonious Christmas spirit. Set in the 1940’s, this play beautifully reveals its characters’ choices and convictions as they move toward what Christmas is about – compassion and hope!
