ABOUT THE SHOW:

Christmas time means the lovable nuts get to head up north to their deer shack to cut fresh trees for the Elmwood all-church Christmas eve nativity scene and combined choir service. To them, it’s a great beer-drinking weekend (they buy the trees from a Hackensack tree lot) but this year things are different. The ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) steps in and threatens to shut it down, “because it’s on public property.”

Now they’re on a mission to save both their nativity service and their beer-enhanced weekends. Of course, with all new holiday songs, lots of laughs, and plenty of fresh beer on hand, what could possibly go wrong?

It’s a brand-new, feel-good, holiday musical that everyone will enjoy.

REVIEWS
 
"Holy Bells Was a Fun Christmas Outing"
 
"Favorite moment: I especially like the bold discussion about keeping "Christ" in Christmas!"
 
"We went to Holy Bells because both of my daughters have gone deer hunting with "the guys" and decided it's NOT a place for girls! This play was a good reminder of "why not!" We laughed a lot and especially enjoyed the original Christmas songs that were presented throughout the show. These guys have amazing voices! This was a very inexpensive and enjoyable evening!"
 
"Favorite moment: The music and the hidden messages especially when they had to ad lib"
 
"Enjoyed the play and always like the live theater. The proximity to the stage and the actors is enjoyable and the relaxing atmosphere is a plus. Would like a CD of the songs. Really liked those as well as the overall theme of the play. It hit home to what Christmas is really about. Thanks."
 
"Favorite moment: When Moose cut the tree down and it came through the window. "
 
"OMG it was great! I took my staff that work in my small child care center. It was great to laugh and let loose. The actors were so believeable and the singing was great.
A mix of laughter and great music.
You could really relate as if you were with them in their deer shack.
Going again taking my deer hunter husband."
 
"Hilarious musical was perfect for our family celebration!
 
"Favorite moment: Songs were great!
 
"Enjoyed! Great laughs, great songs and great focus on Christmas!"
