A Simple Christmas Pageant

Director Stageright and Music Director Highnote are busy leading the final rehearsals for the annual Christmas pageant and holding a few last-minute auditions. Will they be able to find just the right trio to play the three wise men? Will Harold and the Angel Choir make their entrances on time? Appropriate for both schools and churches, the score of this simple-to-stage production features traditional carols and occasionally invites the audience to sing along! Works well with performers of any age. / Choeur

Stuffed full of memorable tunes it ends with a rumbustuous 'Christmas Dinner'. Christmas Through the Ages lasting approximately 20 minutes was composed for Tring School and its simple yet colourful accompaniment can be imaginatively adapted to a wide variety of electronic or acoustic resources.
