During a recent staff meeting, as I was sharing about a possible joint church youth group, Pastor Brandon asked me if I and other Davis church children’s ministry directors would be willing to explore a combined Christmas play this year, as a way of energizing the mix of children as we have with Vacation Bible Camp in years past. I did, and now this year we are delighted to debut the Davis Ecumenical Youth Theater program, where kids and adults from Davis UMC, St. Martin’s Episcopal, Davis Community Church, Davis Lutheran, and Lutheran Church of the Incarnation will collaborate on a joint production!All rehearsals and performances will be at Davis UMC.

September 8, 2024, 8:45 am to 9:45 am – First Rehearsal later this day, auditions for main roles 11:45 am – 12:45 pm in the Children’s Choir Room.
(No need to prepare anything. Actors will read from the script and sing from the show).
