Here comes the judge! Bethlehem court is in session with the Honorable Judge Jody Justice presiding. It's The People vs. a certain "reluctant" innkeeper... reluctant to give a certain young couple a room for the night, that is. Sam Shepherd is the prosecuting attorney who's out to get to the bottom of this case by calling key animal witnesses to the stand. It's eventually revealed that the greatest miracle of all happened the night before, and God can always turn things around for good! Perfect for grades K-4, this 20-minute, easy-to-prepare and present musical can be performed with as few as eight children or many more.
The verdict is in...The Case of the Reluctant Innkeeper will delight and inspire your church and community with the joyous message of Christmas!
