Published by Dramatic Publishing
0 Male 5 Female
Christmas is only three weeks away, and the ladies of the Charitable Sisterhood are preparing for Second Trinity Church's annual Christmas Spectacular
But they're having trouble staying focused on their preparations because there's a criminal on the loose
Someone has stolen the baby Jesus figure from his place in Second Trinity's nativity scene
Sisterhood leader Bea Littleton is certain that the culprit is her longtime rival, Lucille Orton, from First Salvation - a place of extremely strict beliefs just up the road
Bea and the other sisterhood members decide that they need help getting to the bottom of things and so they call in honorary member and private investigator Janet Murchison to delve more deeply into things and see if she can determine who the perpetrator is
By show time, Janet is starting to think she knows exactly who is guilty of what
But the truth can't be revealed until the end of the Spectacular
As a result, we watch from both onstage and backstage, as the sisterhood performs sacred songs and satirical skits
After all, where else would Santa meet the Wise Men other than the Manger?
The fun doesn't let up until the hilarious revelation at the show's climax
Which leaves the audience and the sisterhood filled with the very best spirit of the Christmas season
