What can we do this Christmas? Thousands of school teachers and church leaders face this question every year. Come to the Stable is a perfect solution: with musical styles ranging from a poignant ballad by Mary to a patter song in the style of Gilbert & Sullivan and from the humourous, Hebrew-style Shepherd's Shuffle to a joyful, riotous finale, these ten songs will make your audience laugh, cry and dance in the aisles.
Come to the Stable is a flexible musical with three different ways in which the material can be presented, enabling groups to make the most of the talents and facilitites available. It can be performed as:
- a full-blown musical with a highly entertaining modern-drama interspersed with traditional nativity scenes
- a more simply-staged musical with the songs linked by appropriate Bible readings and re-enactments of the first Christmas
- a concert performance of songs and Bible reading
