Childrens Musicals
Jeff's new children's Christmas music, 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!

Jeff Smith's children's musical, Pirates of the "I Don't Care"-ibbean, is sure to be a big hit with kids! Creator Jeff Smith wants kids to learn that, "You are not created to be on a deserted island, guarding someone else's treasure. Your real treasure is in heaven, not on earth. Avarice is a tool of the enemy to keep you from becoming all God created you to be on earth. In the story, Andy exposes the lies of the evil captain and helps the pirates assume their rightful place on the sea."
"Curses! Foiled Again!" is an original melodrama that will take you back to 1936 with 'Spunky' and his gang of odd ball characters as they try to win back the local playground from the town bully. Come cheer for our would-be heroes in a raucous romp through slapstick and sight gags as they fight to foil the foe!
