​The Blessing Tree is a new 25-minute mini Christmas musical that can be performance-ready in just a few rehearsals! The perfect length for a worship service, it requires just 4 child actors and two adults but can accommodate a large ensemble. The best part is that The Blessing Tree is both a musical and a mission with real-world impact. By hosting a Christmas ornament sale with our partner, Ornaments for Orphans, your church or school can deliver a memorable and meaningful Christmas program that reaches far beyond the stage. Intergenerational, ages 5+, three songs, 25 minutes.

​From The Blessing Tree Director's Guide:

​
​After we performed  The Blessing Tree for the first time, a congregation member who attended the performance wrote to me, saying “I’ll never look at my Christmas tree the same way again.”

COMING FALL, 2025, Tailspin: The Musical, a NEW musical adventure to celebrate our furry friends!

Picture

​Max, a long-time canine resident at the Woeisme Animal Shelter and Pumpkin (a.k.a Killer), a combative stray cat, have nothing in common but their hope of escape. Following the wildly successful Woofstock  adoption event, Max and Pumpkin, the only two remaining pets, see their prospects diminish even further when they are adopted by Jesse and given (gasp)...jobs! But is this work really so bad? 

WHAT MAKES THIS SHOW SO SPECIAL?
  • Puppets! Six of the lead characters are shelter animals, providing your students and opportunity to learn puppetry in addition singing, acting, and dancing. 
  • Eight catchy songs in a variety of styles including reggae, '60's rock, ballads, rap, blues and pop will keep audiences humming long after they leave the theater.
  • The theme of pets, particularly therapy pets who use their unique skills to make our lives better, is a winner for both kids and audiences. Reach beyond the stage and support your local animal shelter or pet therapy organization with your performance.
​THE DETAILS:
  • 12 Lead roles (including 7 animal puppet characters)
  • Flexible cast for larger ensembles
  • 8 Fun songs from pop, to '60's funk, to rap

WHY Musicals for Change?
​Founded by composer and music educator Diane Beckstead, our company knows what kids like and teachers want! Conversation starters, special activities, and devotions are all included with our kids' musicals, along with unlimited downloadable scripts, scores, and production notes. Professional rehearsal and performance tracks by Dove-nominee Joe Milton guarantee our songs are second to none!  And because we know directors want real substance, our stories feature kids being kids.  We're not big on goofy stereotypes or shallow characters.  Our characters are just like your students - funny, clever, often silly, deep thinking, well-meaning, and sometimes flawed.  Offstage, your students will have the opportunity to engage in conversations and service projects for nonprofit partners specific to each show's theme. Once you've performed a Musicals for Change show, you, your students, and your audience will have made the world a better place!   

 10% of each Musical for Change show purchased is donated to a nonprofit partner!
