The
Lone Manger
Jeff's new children's Christmas musical, The Lone Manger, is the story of Woody, the manger of the nativity, and the inanimate props that surround the telling of a traditional children's Christmas play. The story of Christmas has grown old and the props are fighting the feeling that their best days of telling the Christmas story are behind them. When the manger is inadvertently stored with the Easter props for the season, he meets the cross who tells him everything that happens after Christmas. Feeling so terribly betrayed, Woody decides to leave the ensemble. The rest of the cast is devastated and tries to convince Woody to stay by sharing their personal stories of Christmas. But the plan backfires and Woody spills the horrible truth about the Crucifixion. When all seems lost, the hills of Judea bursts forth with a revelation she didn't even know she had: Jesus is alive! The Lone Manger is a play about the importance of community and the need to share the story of how Christmas changed us all forever!
