2024 Middle School Play Performs December 13 & 14

WC Theatre to perform a Christmas comedy on December 13 & 14

Under the leadership of award-winning Director David O’Roark, Worthington Christian’s Middle School theatre department is putting the finishing touches on the production “On The Worst Day of Christmas” as they anticipate their December 13 & 14 Play performances. This comedy by Faye Couch Reeves will hit the WC stage on Friday, December 13 (7 PM) and Saturday, December 14 (2 PM and 7 PM).

Appleville is a small, peaceful town, but you sure wouldn’t know it around Christmas time. Stress and distress run high each year for Amanda MacAfee, director of her church’s annual Christmas pageant, as the other church in town puts on their ever-expanding Christmas pageant with real animals, amazing costumes, and even flying angels. 

Knowing she will never beat them at the same old game, Amanda decides this year will be different. Instead of telling the traditional story of the manger and the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, she will instead present a reenactment of the Twelve Days of Christmas, complete with plenty of poultry…  and an unlimited potential for disaster… Thankfully, her son Adam, wise beyond his years, is making a traditionally simple and beautiful plan of his own (just in case) with the help of his friends. While leaping lords, dancing ladies, and Mrs. McIlhaney — a real cow — wait in the wings, Adam and his friends lead Amanda and all of Appleville back to the true reason the angels sang that Christmas night so long ago.

General admission tickets will be available at the door for $10.00. Worthington Christian students may attend for free. Performances will take place at the Worthington Christian School Auditorium in the K-2 Building of the Lower School at 6675 Worthington Galena Rd.
