Noted humorist Martha Bolton takes the age-old Christmas story and introduces some genuine characters like the two innkeepers' wives who vie for customers with their "vacancy" and "no vacancy" signs. Music by Bill Wolaver matches Martha's lyrics to a tee. The tee can stand for "Townspeople" who make up a chorus and have speaking lines.Also included in the book are five holiday-Christmas sketches: "The Scrooge Patrol," "The Sweatshop," "Tree Top," "Shopper Stopper," and "I Did It All Myself." Set Requirements: One skyline set Cast: 8 male, 7 female, 7 persons, extras Performance Time: 45 minutes Suggested Use: A Christmas musical for church services, dinner theatre, or entertainment for any kind of seasonal event.

O Little Town of Bethlehem
Author: Elizabeth Boyle
Publisher: Elizabeth Boyle
ISBN: 1733676589
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 670
Book Description
A heartwarming, magical story of a woman lost in time, who must assist two others in untangling the lies surrounding their lives if she wants to return to her own. One wish could change everything. At least it did for Madeline Drake. When a snowy accident topples her through a slip in time, she wakes to find herself in tiny, turn of the century, Bethlehem, Wyoming, far from her hectic modern existence. And as much as it is a shock to her, her arrival upends the tenaciously rooted lives of the town’s odd collection of lost souls. But the rules are clear—she has to stay until Christmas before the door home will open. Having never been much for rules, Madeline begins an out-of-control campaign to return sooner rather than later, but finds her arrivals as unwittingly upended the lives of the town's proper postmistress, Ninny Minch, and that of a grieving widow, Savannah Clarke, who has been hiding behind a wall of grief and guilt for decades. Now Madeline’s got to fix those broken threads. While helping anyone other than herself doesn't come easily to her—and despite her best efforts to avoid entanglements—fragile bonds of friendship form with Ninny and Savannah. Madeline discovers—much to her surprise—that trust and acceptance once given, may be strong enough to untangle even the most closely woven secrets. Including a few of her own. As Christmas draws near and time runs out, Madeline finds herself even more entwined in Bethlehem’s currency of wishes and hope, until she starts to question if this small town might actually hold the keys to a life of purpose and empowerment she’d never imagined. If you are looking for that warm and cozy holiday read, a book to share with your dearest friends , your book club, and your family, O Little Town of Bethlehem is sure to delight and have you reaching for a cup of tea and, perhaps, another slice of Ninny’s Christmas cake.

Empty Shield
Author: Giacomo Donis
Publisher: eBook Partnership
ISBN: 1839782560
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 446
Book Description
A people's history and the horror of war: Howard Zinn meets Apocalypse Now. Political autobiography. March 1972, about to graduate from NYU. A journey: two days and nights in the New York subway. Love it or leave it. A decision: become a Great Academic Marxist; blow up the Williamsburg Bridge; go into exile. Vietnam Veterans with placards, for and against the war. Seven placard-men at the seven gates of Thebes, brandishing their shields. A decision. Political or personal? Or pure Zen? Mind or no-mind? Kill for peace! Dylan, Hendrix, or the Fugs. The two Suzukis, or Dogen. Monk and Coltrane! The relation between Hegel's logic of thinking as such and his logic of practice, which does not exist. The screech of the subway stops. A fork where three roads cross, the realm of shadows, what is to be done? A Chinese menu? Stab it! Stab it with your fork! But what I, myself, decide is not the point. The point is the question of 'what a decision is and what making a decision means.' The answer is 'never stop asking.' Ask yourself. Ask FDR, JFK, LBJ, McNamara and his band, John Kerry, or a Vietnam War veteran of your choice. Ask Nixon, Kissinger-Trump! Ask Trump! Ye great decision-makers, have you ever asked yourselves what a decision is and what making a decision means! That is the question. The Empty Shield asks it. Repeatedly, repetitiously, abysally, and, possibly, once and for all.

Slouching Towards Bethlehem
Author: Joan Didion
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 0374266360
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
Universally acclaimed when it was first published in 1968, Slouching Towards Bethlehem has become a modern classic. More than any other book of its time, this collection captures the mood of 1960s America, especially the center of its counterculture, California. These essays, keynoted by an extraordinary report on San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury, all reflect that, in one way or another, things are falling apart, "the center cannot hold." An incisive look at contemporary American life, Slouching Towards Bethlehem has been admired for several decades as a stylistic masterpiece. Contents: I. LIFE STYLES IN THE GOLDEN LAND Some Dreamers of the Golden Dream John Wayne: A Love Song Where the Kissing Never Stops Comrade Laski, C.P.U.S.A. (M.-L.) 7000 Romaine, Los Angeles 38 California Dreaming Marrying Absurd Slouching Towards Bethlehem II.
