This nativity story of three little angels and their journey to see the Baby Jesus, is written for children aged 5 to 9. The show opens with the angels at school learning how to be angels - playing harps, wearing crowns and how to use their wings. Soon they have to go down to Earth because an important event is about to happen ! They don't understand what it is all about but try to keep up. Tired, they rest for a while with some sheep and fall asleep. When they wake, the other angels have left without them. We then follow their journey to Bethlehem and the Nativity. The show contains 8 principal parts, plus a choir and could be staged with a small cast of 30 or as many as 150. A Cassette tape of Side A - Vocals, Side B - Backing Tracks is available.

The Writers Mike Smith 
After training at the Birmingham School of Music and St Lukes Teachers Training College, Mike qualified as a Music Teacher and became Head of Music in schools, mainly in the Midlands. He was for a time Education Manager for Yamaha Kemble and following his time there started up Musicline. That was 14 years ago now and the company that started with 4 works and a photocopier has grown to become a leading source of School Musicals for all ages, with branches in New York USA and Australia. Mike, over the years, has written several musicals that have been performed on Radio, Television, schools all over the world and The Edinburgh Festival several times. Mike very much enjoys being Managing Director of Musicline but wishes he had more time to write. But as Musicline has taken on more staff recently he might now get the time and opportunity. |
