A JAM-PACKED CROOKED CHRISTMAS COMEDY
A magical star appears in the East, pointing the way to a secret treasure. Two rascally shepherds and their naughty sheep hatch a cheeky plan to steal the star and make their fortunes.
But will they be derailed by amazing angels, crazy carpenters and the wise man with a wool allergy? The first Christmas is about to get messy in this hilarious story filled with heart and hope.
Flock to this very crooked comedy, jam-packed with surprising shepherds, silly sheep, slapstick, songs, a spectacular star and the treasure at the heart of Christmas.
This touching take on the Nativity story – from Riding Lights, the company that brought you Christmas Inn Trouble and The Selfish Giant – will delight audiences of all ages.
