The Lucky Owl

Owl sits high in the tree, watching the world go by below. As night draws near and the wind grows cold, she spies a weary man leading a donkey with a beautiful lady on its back, making their way towards Bethlehem. But Owl has no time to wonder who they might be, she has to fly! Fly to find a warm and cosy place to sleep for the night.

But as hard as Owl may try, there's no room in bat's cave, squirrel's hollow tree, mouse's hole or in any of the houses. Just like the tired and forlorn couple who find there's no room at the inn.

But then, Owl finds a cosy stable with a big surprise waiting inside. Expecting to be turned away again, she is filled with joy to be asked to stay. A beautiful baby has been born, guests arrive with gifts and they are all welcomed to join in the most wonderful celebration.

This charming Nativity story is told through the eyes of the animals and brings a fun new twist to this age old tale. With seven brand new songs and simple script this delightful musical play is perfect for nursery and infant children at Christmas time.

An 'out of the box' musical play that requires more fun than effort and at the same time gives your pupils a wonderful learning experience.
