“The Indescribable Gift” is a musical presented in traditional Victorian fashion. It is a production based on the real person of St. Nicholas and the events surrounding his life and love for those in need. This heart-warming musical brings to the stage the sounds and images of Old World Christmases gone by. Carols and original songs herald the message of hope as they fill the streets of Shropshire, England.
The story is told from the viewpoint of Abigail and Frederick Pendry who are unable to have children of their own. In an effort to help out a local orphanage, they welcome two orphans, Seth and Lily, to stay in their home for a few days before Christmas. During their stay, Lily and Seth find out the truth about St. Nicholas through stories shared by the Pendry couple and their whimsical maids, Myrtle and Nettie. The bed-time stories of St. Nicholas come to life as the audience is swept back in time through the pages of history and the Holy Scriptures. The production’s ending has a heart-wrenching, magical twist.
The Indescribable Gift through enchanting music and storytelling bring love, joy and peace to the Christmas season. This one-of-a-kind production is bound to be a classic as it captures the heart and inspires with the true message of St. Nicholas. It is a moving holiday chronicle for the whole family.
