The Butterfingers Angel

Performance Schedule
November 30 – December 23, 2022

This holiday season, join us for an original, funny and heartfelt retelling of the greatest story ever told. A fumbling young Angel announces to Mary that she has been chosen to become a mother. But Mary is a free spirit, and her plans do not include marriage, or motherhood! Once a bewildered Joseph is won over, an antic pageant of Tree, Sheep, Donkey, Cow, Kings, and others set off on the road to Bethlehem. ‘The Butterfingers Angel’ is filled with Christmas songs and entertainment, but the reverence, joy, and true significance of the occasion are never lost.
