AWAY WITH THE MANGER: A Spiritually Correct Christmas Story
It began with a letter. Jackson Grim, small town newspaper columnist, was wading through his usual pile of hate mail from gun owners, religious wackos and fans of a political talk show when he found it. The letter writer regretted the decision of the Hartville City Council to ban a manger scene on the front lawn of City Hall unless other "winter holiday" symbols including Santa, reindeer and snowpersons were included in the display. Though not a religious man himself, Jackson decided to print the letter in his column--a decision he quickly came to regret.
This story of Christmas in the culture wars reveals a town thrown into mayhem by rhetoric on all sides when everyone from the town's leading atheist, Ms. Diedra Freep to Pastor Marty Karlsen is drawn into the debate. Audiences will laugh and be surprised by the events that follow--and may find their heart strangely warmed in this Christmas family comedy. 100 minutes running time with intermission. Arrive half hour early for our fun raffles and musical pre-show featuring our Waypoint regulars and jam-packed full of Christmas musical cheer! Perfect for church & work groups or even family reunions!
