To the Castle - A Musical for Stewards - digital download

by Jay Beech

Description

This whimsical 50 minute musical takes place in a medieval castle and tells the story of the sty warden who takes care of the pigs. Everyone has just learned that their long-absent monarch is about to return and is expecting a report from each of them about how they have fulfilled their responsibilities. Reactions range from confidence to panic but no one really knows what to expect.

Clever dialog and delightful music make this show a real joy to stage. It was originally written as a stewardship resource for congregations of the ELCA, and it offers a unique new way to tell the story of God's generosity and our care for those gifts.

As originally scored, To the Castle involves as many as 17 individual actors, a small chorus of extras, and as many as five or six instrumentalists. However, with minor script adjustments, as few as eight people can cover all roles. Click on this link to view the complete Introduction & Performance Notes.
