Story Synopsis:
Christmas,
1977, 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 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 does Santa meet the Wise Men at 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.
