The Butler Did It
When it comes to solving murder mysteries, it’s always the one you least suspect! The very proper butler Jenkins and the fiery Cockney maid Sarah Jane are preparing the Covington household for a visit from Edwina Corry, the world’s greatest mystery author and friend to Lady Miranda and Colonel Covington. Other guests arriving include Lady Covington’s feisty old mother, their high-flying daughter Kat, their chatty priest who doesn’t know when to quit and the caddish, eavesdropping neighbor boy Trevor.
Things are soon thrown into confusion, however, when Trevor is found stabbed to death in the kitchen. On her arrival, Edwina eagerly launches an investigation into the murder. Unfortunately, the evidence is stacked against poor Jenkins from the start, and when the bloody knife is found in his pocket, the other members of the household tie him to a chair and call the police. The only problem? Jenkins didn’t do it. And now he’s got just half an hour to figure out who the real murderer is — while still tied to the chair.

Christmas Toy School at the North Pole
Did you know that toys don’t automatically know how to be the perfect plaything when Santa puts them in his toy sack? They don’t! So first, they have to attend North Pole Toy School!
Jig and Saw, Ted E. Bear, Princess Ann, Glow Toy and others have come to the toy school. Each hopes to graduate and receive their Christmas bows so they can be on Santa’s sleigh on Christmas Eve. Not graduating from Toy School means certain doom at the… da-da-da-dum… Toy Dump! With the help of teacher assistant Cool Cat, these all-too-human toys learn about paying attention, practicing and persevering, developing self-confidence, and overcoming both their fears and weaknesses… but only after a charming and funny series of trial and error! They even let their fears get the best of them when they imagine the worst about their elf teacher, Miss Grumplegus.
This absolutely delightful Christmas show will inspire gentle lessons for both the actors and audiences about liking yourself, having confidence, and not giving up!
