It's Christmas and Holly, a young girl with a compassionate heart, has launched a toy and food drive for the needy. It's for a good cause and her heart is in the right place-at least at first. Once she begins to get a lot of publicity, she starts to lose focus on the real reason she's doing it. Then, when some street kids steal everything she's collected, Holly's "gifts" start having strings attached. This insightful children's musical is a delightful parallel to the story of God's gift to us — so perfect and undeserved, and presents a compelling illustration to give as Christ commanded: "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven." This 30-minute musical provides the perfect opportunity this Christmas to involve your children or your entire church in ministry to the needy of your community.

Leon is…special. Ever since he discovered that his name spelled backwards is Noel, he’s felt called to tell the world the true meaning of Christmas. But when he tries out for every role in the annual pageant, he finds that he’s the only one who doesn’t get a part. Now Leon understands better than anyone how Mary and Joseph must have felt when they heard the words, “No room” that night in Bethlehem. Without really trying to, however, Leon does uncover the true meaning of Christmas when he identifies the real Star of Bethlehem. A dramatic 35-minute musical. Unison, optional 2-part.

The Next Noel (Brentwood-Benson Music #4575710637)

This musical works wonderfully as a brand new production or can be used as a sequel to The First Leon. Leon is again the center of the action, only this year, he is directing the Christmas pageant. He has grand and lofty dreams and expectations for the program. However, the closer the cast gets to opening night, the more wildly overstated and ridiculous Leon's ideas become - and more importantly, the more the program becomes all about Leon's initiative instead of God's miracle at Christmas. The musical takes an "a-ha" bend when, the night before the performance, one of the little girls gets sick and cannot fulfill her role as one of the lowly sheep in the stall. All of the cast tells Leon that he is the only one who can fill in, but Leon is defiant about having to play such an insignifcant role - especially having to kneel. In the end he realizes that humble worship is exactly what our response should be at Christmas and all year long.

“Attention. All angels report to the Universe Command Center immediately.” That’s the message the angels in heaven hear right before Jesus, God’s Son, is sent to earth. Everyone is all excited, of course, but some of the cherubs feel they have to vie for the coveted job of the Fear Not Factor. (That’s the angel who shows up on earth and proclaims, “Fear not.”) The message in this 40-minute musical for kids is that God has a plan for each person (and angel) in His grand scheme. The songs are fun to learn and perform. The beautiful Michael W. Smith classic “All Is Well” is also included.
