'Tis the season for Holiday FUN!
Away in the Basement: A Church Basement Ladies Christmas

And out of the basement shall come a Christmas Program of good tidings, great humor and joy!
The Church Basement Ladies are back for the Holidays to share their hilarious antics and stories in a brand new musical comedy that once again reveals their down-to-earth style and humor audiences have come to love.
One Saturday morning in 1959, the children are rehearsing in the sanctuary for the evening's annual Sunday School Christmas program. As the Church Basement Ladies are finishing up the goodie bags and putting final touches on the Nativity pieces, little do they know that, once again, they will be called upon to step in and save the day! A charming, funny and heartfelt tribute to these strong and faithful women, AWAY IN THE BASEMENT is the perfect holiday gift for your group, family and friends. 'Tis the season fro merriment and laughter!
