The Christmas Story is a new musical version of the traditional Nativity, written especially for children with special needs by Fishy Music's Trevor and Karina Stevens.
The Christmas Story follows the journey of Mary and Josephto Bethlehem where they meet shepherds and soldiers, angels and wise men, building up a wonderful tableau of the Bible narrative. Narrated by your own storyteller, even the youngest of children can be guided through the parts and the event can be staged quite easily with a small cast.
