A Christmas Pageant like you’ve never seen before! Cue two hilarious shepherds from Devonshire who spill their beer and drop their wieners in the fire when the angels appear; or a Scottish innkeeper who is so stressed, he even has customers sleeping the broom closet; or an Indian Wiseman from the East, Toronto—all presented in modern-day perspectives through the one-man storytelling talents of Justyn Rees.
Your host, singer-songwriter Russ Rosen and multi-instrumentalist Brett Ziegler intertwine this seasonal story with swirls of musical commentary and breaths of unspoken narrative. With nightly musical performances by featured guests Shari Ulrich, Graham Ord, Wild Blue Herons and Marcus Mosely—it’s a dynamite combination! This is Christmas Tales.
